Create a new DiTTo model layer

from layerstack.layer import Layer
from ditto.dittolayers import DittoLayerBase

parent_dir = 'smartds-layerstack-library/layer_library/'
Layer.create('Human Readable Name for New Layer',parent_dir,
    desc="Add brief description here if desired. Can always be added later.",
    layer_base_class=DittoLayerBase)

Create a new (non-DiTTo) model reading layer

from layerstack.layer import Layer, LayerBase

parent_dir = 'smartds-layerstack-library/layer_library/'
# existing example
Layer.create('From OpenDSS',parent_dir,
    desc="Layer to load DiTTo model from Open DSS",layer_base_class=LayerBase)
# in the apply method, load the model then set stack.model equal to the result
# (see [from_opendss/layer.py](layer_library/from_opendss/layer.py#L46))

Create a new (non-DiTTo) model writing layer

from layerstack.layer import Layer, LayerBase

parent_dir = 'smartds-layerstack-library/layer_library/'
# existing example
Layer.create('To OpenDSS',parent_dir,
    desc="Layer to write DiTTo model to Open DSS",layer_base_class=LayerBase)
# In the apply method, ditto_model = stack.model, then write ditto_model out
# to the desired format. Functionally these layers could be written as
# DiTToLayerBase classes, but then there would be a risk of the Stack trying to
# write the DiTTo model out to disc, which currently throws an exception.

Create a new stack

git clone https://github.com/Smart-DS/dataset3.git
cd 'smartds-layerstack-library/bin'
ipython

import create_test_stacks
create_test_stacks.create_test_stack('../../dataset3')

Run a stack

git clone https://github.com/Smart-DS/dataset3.git
cd 'smartds-layerstack-library/bin'
ipython

from create_test_stacks import update_stack_base_dir
update_stack_base_dir('../stack_library/ditto_test_stack_dataset3.json','../../dataset3')
from layerstack.stack import Stack
s = Stack.load('../stack_library/ditto_test_stack_dataset3.json')
s.run_dir = 'run_dir'
s.run()
