heartandsole.Activity.distance.records_from_position¶

Activity.distance.records_from_position(inplace=False)[source]¶

Cumulative distance records calculated from GPS coordinate records.

Parameters: inplace (bool) – Whether to add the Series result as a column to the records DataFrame. Default False.
Returns: The Series result or None if inplace=True or if the records DataFrame does not contain lat and lon columns.
Return type: pandas.Series or None

Examples

When called with inplace=False, this method returns a Series:

>>> records = pd.DataFrame({
...   'lat': [40.0, 40.0001, 40.0002],
...   'lon': [-105.2, -105.2, -105.2]
... })
>>> act = Activity(records)
>>> act.distance.records_from_position()
0     0.000000
1    11.119493
2    22.238985
dtype: float64

When called with inplace=True, this method updates the records DataFrame:

>>> act.distance.records_from_position(inplace=True)
>>> act.records
       lat     lon   distance
0  40.0000  -105.2   0.000000
1  40.0001  -105.2  11.119493
2  40.0002  -105.2  22.238985
