GWeatherLocation

typedef struct _GWeatherLocation GWeatherLocation;

enum GWeatherLocationLevel

typedef enum {
 /*< underscore_name=gweather_location_level >*/
    GWEATHER_LOCATION_WORLD,
    GWEATHER_LOCATION_REGION,
    GWEATHER_LOCATION_COUNTRY,
    /* ADM1 = first-order administrative division = state/province, etc */
    GWEATHER_LOCATION_ADM1,
    /* ADM2 = second-order division = county, etc */
    GWEATHER_LOCATION_ADM2,
    GWEATHER_LOCATION_CITY,
    GWEATHER_LOCATION_WEATHER_STATION
} GWeatherLocationLevel;

The size/scope of a particular GWeatherLocation.

Locations form a hierarchy, with a GWEATHER_LOCATION_WORLD location at the top, divided into regions or countries, and so on. Countries may or may not be divided into "adm1"s, and "adm1"s may or may not be divided into "adm2"s. A city will have at least one, and possibly several, weather stations inside it. Weather stations will never appear outside of cities.

gweather_location_new_world ()

GWeatherLocation *  gweather_location_new_world         (gboolean use_regions);

Creates a new GWeatherLocation of type GWEATHER_LOCATION_WORLD, representing a hierarchy containing all of the locations from Locations.xml.

If use_regions is TRUE, the immediate children of the returned location will be GWEATHER_LOCATION_REGION nodes, representing the top-level "regions" of Locations.xml (the continents and a few other divisions), and the country-level nodes will be the children of the regions. If use_regions is FALSE, the regions will be skipped, and the children of the returned location will be the GWEATHER_LOCATION_COUNTRY nodes.

gweather_location_ref ()

GWeatherLocation *  gweather_location_ref               (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Adds 1 to loc's reference count.

gweather_location_unref ()

void                gweather_location_unref             (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Subtracts 1 from loc's reference count, and frees it if the reference count reaches 0.

gweather_location_get_name ()

const char *        gweather_location_get_name          (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Gets loc's name, localized into the current language.

Note that GWEATHER_LOCATION_WEATHER_STATION nodes are not localized, and so the name returned for those nodes will always be in English, and should therefore not be displayed to the user. (FIXME: should we just not return a name?)

gweather_location_get_sort_name ()

const char *        gweather_location_get_sort_name     (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Gets loc's "sort name", which is the name after having g_utf8_normalize() (with G_NORMALIZE_ALL) and g_utf8_casefold() called on it. You can use this to sort locations, or to comparing user input against a location name.

gweather_location_get_level ()

GWeatherLocationLevel gweather_location_get_level       (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Gets loc's level, from GWEATHER_LOCATION_WORLD, to GWEATHER_LOCATION_WEATHER_STATION.

gweather_location_get_parent ()

GWeatherLocation *  gweather_location_get_parent        (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Gets loc's parent location.

gweather_location_get_children ()

GWeatherLocation ** gweather_location_get_children      (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Gets an array of loc's children; this is owned by loc and will not remain valid if loc is freed.

gweather_location_free_children ()

void                gweather_location_free_children     (GWeatherLocation *loc,
                                                         GWeatherLocation **children);

This is a no-op. Do not use it.

gweather_location_has_coords ()

gboolean            gweather_location_has_coords        (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Checks if loc has valid latitude and longitude.

gweather_location_get_coords ()

void                gweather_location_get_coords        (GWeatherLocation *loc,
                                                         double *latitude,
                                                         double *longitude);

Gets loc's coordinates; you must check gweather_location_has_coords() before calling this.

gweather_location_get_distance ()

double              gweather_location_get_distance      (GWeatherLocation *loc,
                                                         GWeatherLocation *loc2);

Determines the distance in kilometers between loc and loc2.

gweather_location_get_country ()

const char *        gweather_location_get_country       (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Gets the ISO 3166 country code of loc (or NULL if loc is a region- or world-level location)

gweather_location_get_timezone ()

GWeatherTimezone *  gweather_location_get_timezone      (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Gets the timezone associated with loc, if known.

The timezone is owned either by loc or by one of its parents. FIXME.

gweather_location_get_timezones ()

GWeatherTimezone ** gweather_location_get_timezones     (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Gets an array of all timezones associated with any location under loc. You can use gweather_location_free_timezones() to free this array.

gweather_location_free_timezones ()

void                gweather_location_free_timezones    (GWeatherLocation *loc,
                                                         GWeatherTimezone **zones);

Frees the array of timezones returned by gweather_location_get_timezones().

gweather_location_get_code ()

const char *        gweather_location_get_code          (GWeatherLocation *loc);

Gets the METAR station code associated with a GWEATHER_LOCATION_WEATHER_STATION location.

gweather_location_get_city_name ()

char *              gweather_location_get_city_name     (GWeatherLocation *loc);

For a GWEATHER_LOCATION_CITY location, this is equivalent to gweather_location_get_name(). For a GWEATHER_LOCATION_WEATHER_STATION location, it is equivalent to calling gweather_location_get_name() on the location's parent. For other locations it will return NULL.
