.. py:data:: log

   A logger for the scenario generator.


.. py:class:: H5ScenarioGenerator(file_path: pathlib.Path, power_plant_config: artist.scenario.configuration_classes.PowerPlantConfig, target_area_list_config: artist.scenario.configuration_classes.TargetAreaListConfig, light_source_list_config: artist.scenario.configuration_classes.LightSourceListConfig, heliostat_list_config: artist.scenario.configuration_classes.HeliostatListConfig, prototype_config: artist.scenario.configuration_classes.PrototypeConfig, version: float = 1.0)

   Initialize the scenario generator.

   Scenarios in ``ARTIST`` describe the whole environment and all the components of a solar tower power
   plant. The scenario generator creates the scenarios. A scenario encompasses the tower target area(s), the
   light source(s), prototypes, and the heliostat(s). The generated scenarios are then saved in HDF5
   files.

   Parameters
   ----------
   file_path : pathlib.Path
       File path to the HDF5 to be saved.
   power_plant_config : PowerPlantConfig
       The power plant configuration object.
   target_area_list_config : TargetAreaListConfig
       The target area list configuration object.
   light_source_list_config : LightSourceListConfig
       The light source list configuration object.
   heliostat_list_config : HeliostatListConfig
       The heliostat_list configuration object.
   prototype_config : PrototypeConfig
       The prototype configuration object.
   version : float
       The version of the scenario generator being used (default is 1.0).

   .. py:method:: _get_number_of_heliostat_groups() -> int

      Get the number of heliostat groups in the scenario.

      Returns
      -------
      int
          Number of heliostat groups in the scenario.



   .. py:method:: _check_equal_facet_numbers()

      Check that each heliostat has the same number of facets.

      Raises
      ------
      ValueError
          If at least one heliostat has a different number of facets.



   .. py:method:: _flatten_dict(dictionary: collections.abc.MutableMapping, parent_key: str = '', sep: str = '/') -> dict[str, Any]

      Flatten nested dictionaries to first-level keys.

      Parameters
      ----------
      dictionary : MutableMapping
          Original nested dictionary to flatten.
      parent_key : str
          The parent key of nested dictionaries. Should be empty upon initialization.
      sep : str
          The separator used to separate keys in nested dictionaries.

      Returns
      -------
      dict[str, Any]
          A flattened version of the original dictionary.



   .. py:method:: _flatten_dict_gen(d: collections.abc.MutableMapping, parent_key: str, sep: str) -> Generator


   .. py:method:: _include_parameters(file: h5py.File, prefix: str, parameters: dict) -> None
      :staticmethod:


      Include the parameters from a parameter dictionary.

      Parameters
      ----------
      file : h5py.File
          The HDF5 file to write to.
      prefix : str
          The prefix used for naming the parameters.
      parameters : dict
          The parameters to be included into the HFD5 file.



   .. py:method:: generate_scenario() -> None

      Generate the scenario and save it as an HDF5 file.
