swath builtin

swath(
    coords,
    values,
    width,
    *,
    azimuth=None,
    axis=None,
    weights=None,
    density=None,
)

Mean of values per slice of width along azimuth (degrees from north) or axis ("x", "y", "z"); slices start at 0 so swaths of samples and blocks line up.

Each value stands for weights × density tonnes, as in grade_tonnage, so slice tonnages and metals add up to the totals at cutoff -inf.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
coords	(PointSet, BlockModel or array_like)	Samples or blocks, or their (n, 2) or (n, 3) coordinates.	required
values	array_like or str	Values, or their column in coords.	required
width	float	Slice width.	required
azimuth	float		None
axis	(x, y, z)	Direction of the slices; give one.	"x"
weights	array_like or str	Declustering weights or volumes; default the block volumes of a BlockModel, else 1.	None
density	(float, array_like or str)	Density of each value; default 1.	None

Returns:

Type	Description
Table	center, n, mean (weighted by weights), tonnage and metal of the non-empty slices.
