BASIC USAGE

python-mobilitydb is a Python converter to and from the temporal types provided by MobilityDB, that is
tbool, tint, tfloat, ttext, tgeompoint, and tgeogpoint.

2.1 TBool, TInt, and TText

Classes TBool, TInt, and TText represent, respectively, temporal Booleans, temporal integers, and temporal
strings. These classes have in common that their base type is discrete. As a consequence of this, the interpolation
for the instances of sequence or sequence set subtype is stepwise. We illustrate next how to create new instances of
the TInt class, the creation of instances of the TBool and TText classes is similar.
New TInt instances can be created by using one of its subclasses TIntInst, TIntInstSet, TIntSeq, or
TIntSeqSet.
New TIntInst instances can be created either with a single string argument as in MobilityDB or with two arguments:
the value and the timestamp.

>>> from dateutil.parser import parse

>>> from mobilitydb import TIntInst
>>> TIntInst("1@2020-01-01 00:00:00+01")
>>> TIntInst("1", "2020-01-01 00:00:00+01")
>>> TIntInst(1, parse("2020-01-01 00:00:00+01"))

New TIntInstSet instances can be created either with a single string argument as in MobilityDB or with a tuple
or list of the composing instants.

>>> from mobilitydb import TIntInstSet

>>> TIntInstSet("{1@2020-01-01, 2@2020-01-02}")
>>> TIntInstSet(["1@2020-01-01", "2@2020-01-02"])
>>> TIntInstSet("1@2020-01-01", "2@2020-01-02")
>>> TIntInstSet(TIntInst(1, "2020-01-01"), TIntInst(2, "2020-01-02"))

New TIntSeq instances can be created either with a single string argument as in MobilityDB or with several argu-
ments: the list of composing instants, the left inclusion flag, and the right inclusion flag, where only the first argument
is mandatory.

>>> from mobilitydb import TIntSeq

>>> TIntSeq("[1@2020-01-01, 2@2020-01-02]")
>>> TIntSeq(["1@2020-01-01", "2@2020-01-02"], lower_inc= True, upper_inc=True)
>>> TIntSeq([TIntInst(1, "2020-01-01"), TIntInst(2, "2020-01-02")], lower_inc= True,
˓→upper_inc=True)

python-mobilitydb Documentation, Release 0.01

Finally, new TIntSeqSet instances can be created either with a single string argument as in MobilityDB or with a
single argument: the list of composing sequences.

>>> from mobilitydb import TIntSeqSet

>>> TIntSeqSet("{[1@2020-01-01, 2@2020-01-02], [2@2020-01-03, 1@2020-01-04]}")
>>> TIntSeqSet(["[1@2020-01-01, 2@2020-01-02]", "[2@2020-01-03, 1@2020-01-04]"])
>>> TIntSeqSet([TIntSeq("[1@2020-01-01, 2@2020-01-02]"), TIntSeq("[2@2020-01-03,
˓→1@2020-01-04]")])

2.2 TFloat

Class TFloat represents temporal floats. Since the base type of TFloat is continuous, the interpolation for instances
of the sequence or sequence set subtype may be either linear or stepwise, the former being the default.
New TFloat instances can be created by using one of its subclasses TFloatInst, TFloatInstSet,
TFloatSeq, or TFloatSeqSet.
New TFloatInst instances can be created either with a single string argument as in MobilityDB or with two
arguments: the value and the timestamp.

>>> from dateutil.parser import parse

>>> from mobilitydb import TFloatInst
>>> TFloatInst("1.0@2020-01-01 00:00:00+01")
>>> TFloatInst("1.0", "2020-01-01 00:00:00+01")
>>> TFloatInst(1.0, parse("2020-01-01 00:00:00+01"))

New TFloatInstSet instances can be created either with a single string argument as in MobilityDB or with a tuple
or list of the composing instants.

>>> from mobilitydb import TFloatInstSet

>>> TFloatInstSet("{1.0@2020-01-01, 2.0@2020-01-02}")
>>> TFloatInstSet(["1.0@2020-01-01", "2.0@2020-01-02"])
>>> TFloatInstSet("1.0@2020-01-01", "2.0@2020-01-02")
>>> TFloatInstSet(TFloatInst("1.0@2020-01-01"), TFloatInst("2.0@2020-01-02"))

New TFloatSeq instances can be created either with a single string argument as in MobilityDB or with several
arguments: the list of composing instants, the left inclusion flag, the right inclusion flag, and the interpolation, where
only the first argument is mandatory.

>>> from mobilitydb import TFloatSeq

>>> TFloatSeq("[1.0@2020-01-01, 2.0@2020-01-02]")
>>> TFloatSeq("Interp=Stepwise;[1.0@2020-01-01, 2.0@2020-01-02]")
>>> TFloatSeq(["1.0@2020-01-01", "2.0@2020-01-02"], lower_inc= True, upper_inc=True,
˓→interp='Stepwise')

Finally, new TFloatSeqSet instances can be created either with a single string argument as in MobilityDB or with
two arguments: the list of composing sequences and the interpolation, where only the first argument is mandatory.

>>> from mobilitydb import TFloatSeqSet

>>> TFloatSeqSet("{[1.0@2020-01-01, 2.0@2020-01-02], [2.0@2020-01-03, 1.0@2020-01-04]}
˓→")

>>> TFloatSeqSet(["[1.0@2020-01-01, 2.0@2020-01-02]", "[2.0@2020-01-03, 1.0@2020-01-

˓→04]"], interp='Stepwise')

2.3 TGeomPoint and TGeogPoint

Class TGeomPoint represents temporal geometric points with Cartesian (planar) coordinates while TGeogPoint
represents geographic points with geodetic (spherical) coordinates. Since the base type of these classes is continuous,
the interpolation for the instances of sequence or sequence set subtype may be either linear or stepwise, the former
being the default. We illustrate next how to create instances of the TGeomPoint class, the creation of instances of
the TGeogPoint class is similar.
New TGeomPoint instances can be created by using one of its subclasses TGeomPointInst,
TGeomPointInstSet, TGeomPointSeq, or TGeomPointSeqSet.
New TGeomPointInst instances can be created either with a single string argument as in MobilityDB or with
several arguments: the value, the timestamp, and the SRID, the latter being optional. In both cases, the value of the
point can be specified using a Well-Known Text (WKT) or Well-Known Binary (WKB) representation as well as its
format variations Extended Well-Known Text (EWKT) and Extended Well-Known Binary (EWKB).
>>> from dateutil.parser import parse

3.1 Time Types

class mobilitydb.time.Period(lower, upper=None, lower_inc=None, upper_inc=None)

Class for representing sets of contiguous timestamps between a lower and an upper bound. The bounds may be
inclusive or not.
Period objects can be created with a single argument of type string as in MobilityDB.

>>> Period('(2019-09-08 00:00:00+01, 2019-09-10 00:00:00+01)')

Another possibility is to give a tuple of arguments as follows:

• lower and upper are instances of str or datetime specifying the bounds,
• lower_inc and upper_inc are instances of bool specifying whether the bounds are inclusive or not.
By default, lower_inc is True and upper_inc is False.

3.3 Box Types

class mobilitydb.boxes.TBox(xmin, tmin=None, xmax=None, tmax=None)
Bases: object
Class for representing bounding boxes with value (X) and/or time (T) dimensions.
TBox objects can be created with a single argument of type string as in MobilityDB.

>>> TBox("TBOX((1.0, 2000-01-01), (2.0, 2000-01-02))")

>>> TBox("TBOX((1.0,), (2.0,))")
>>> TBox("TBOX((, 2000-01-01), (, 2000-01-02))")

Another possibility is to give the bounds in the following order: xmin, tmin, xmax, tmax, where the bounds
can be instances of str, float or datetime. All arguments are optional but they must be given in pairs for
each dimension and at least one pair must be given.

>>> TBox("1.0", "2000-01-01", "2.0", "2000-01-02")

>>> TBox(1.0, 2.0)
>>> TBox(parse("2000-01-01"), parse("2000-01-02"))

xmin

may be in 2D (X and Y) or in 3D (X, Y, and Z). For each dimension, minimum and maximum values are stored.
The coordinates may be either Cartesian (planar) or geodetic (spherical). Additionally, the SRID of coordinates
can be specified.
STBox objects can be created with a single argument of type string as in MobilityDB.

Another possibility is to give the bounds in the following order: xmin, ymin, zmin, tmin, xmax, ymax,
zmax, tmax, where the bounds can be instances of str, float and datetime. All arguments are optional
but they must be given in pairs for each dimension and at least one pair must be given. When three pairs are
given, by default, the third pair will be interpreted as representing the Z dimension unless the dimt parameter
is given. Finally, the geodetic parameter determines whether the coordinates in the bounds are planar or
spherical.

Another possibility is to give the arguments as follows:

• instantList is the list of composing instants, which can be instances of str or TGeogPointInst,
• lower_inc and upper_inc are instances of bool specifying whether the bounds are includive or not,
where by default ‘lower_inc‘ is True and upper_inc is False, and
• interp which is either 'Linear' or 'Stepwise', the former being the default.
