assemble_meta_info

SetSeparationSystemBase.assemble_meta_info(sep_id: int, known_meta_info: dict[int, tuple] = None)

If the user has entered custom meta info for a separation, then that is prioritised before everything else. Otherwise, we check for the possibility of this separation merely being a corner of other separations, in that case the info_object becomes a four-tuple (orientation1, info_object_1, orientation2, info_object2), the implication being that our separation is the corner of those two separations (the seps being represented by the info object). If everything else fails, we simply return the first meta_info saved for the separation.

Parameters

sep_idint

The id of the separation whose meta_info we are interested in.

known_meta_infodict

Already computed meta info. Providing this avoids computing the same stuff twice.

Returns

tuple (int, any)

Contains the specification in its first entry and the info object of the metadata in its second entry.
