• offset (float) – The offset to give the anchor points from the center of the model position.

• height (float) – The height of the component in points.

• width (float) – The width of the component in points.

studio_anchor(other, loc)

Return the studio anchor based on a location.

Parameters

• other (TrnsysModel) – The other TrnsysModel used to find the anchor of self.

• loc (2-tuple) – A 2-tuple of location, eg.: (“best”, “best”) or of anchor_ids.

find_best_anchors(other)

Find best anchor points to connect self and other.

property anchor_points

Return dict of anchor points str->tuple.

property reverse_anchor_points

Return dict of anchor points tuple->str.

property studio_anchor_mapping

Return dict of anchor mapping str->tuple.

property studio_anchor_reverse_mapping

get_octo_pts_dict(offset=10)

Define 8-anchor Point around the TrnsysModel.

In cartesian space and returns a named-dict with human readable meaning. These points are equally dispersed at the four corners and 4 edges of the center, at distance = offset.
