next_in_grid¶

emlib.mathlib.next_in_grid(x, step, offset)[source]¶

The next value in the grid defined by step/offset which is >= x

Parameters:

x (TypeVar(T, float, Fraction)) – a value to fit to the next division of a grid
step (TypeVar(T, float, Fraction)) – the step of the grid
offset (TypeVar(T, float, Fraction)) – the offset of the grid

Return type:

TypeVar(T, float, Fraction)

Returns:

the next value within the grid higher or equal to x

Example

>>> next_in_grid(4.3, 0.5, 0)
4.5
>>> from fractions import Fraction
>>> next_in_grid(1.31, Fraction(1, 3))
Fraction(4, 3)
