Geo::ReadGRIB::Place - Contains the value of a one or more data type at a given time and geographic location.

This documentation refers to Geo::ReadGRIB::Place version 1.0 as returned by a call to Geo::ReadGRIB::PlaceIterator::Current()

    use Geo::ReadGRIB;

    $w = new Geo::ReadGRIB "grib-file";
    $w->getFullCatalog;

    print $w->show,"\n";

    $plit = $w->extractLaLo(data_type, lat1, long1, lat2, long2, time);
    die $w->getError if $w->getError;

    # $plit is a Geo::ReadGRIB::PlaceIterator

    while ( $place = $plit->current() and $plit->next ) {

        # $place is a Geo::ReadGRIB::Place object

        $time       = $place->thisTime;
        $latitude   = $place->lat;
        $longitude  = $place->long;
        $data_types = $place->types; # an array ref of type names

        $data       = $place->data( data_type );

        # process data...
    }

Objects of this class are returned by the current() method of a PlaceIterator object which itself has been returned by the extractLaLo() or extract() methods of a Geo::ReadGRIB object. A place object has a unique latitude and longitude for one time and has data for one or more data types.

Objects of this class are read only and all parameters may be accessed by the following methods.

$object->new;

$object->thisTime;

$object->lat;

$object->long;

$object->types;

$object->data(type);
