Japr/network support

[jpalm3r]

This pull request extends the modelskill package to support network-based model results and observations. The main focus is on integrating NetworkModelResult and NodeModelResult types throughout the matching, comparison, and data handling logic, enabling seamless workflows for network geometries alongside existing point, track, and field types.

Key changes include:

Support for Network Model Results and Observations

• Added NetworkModelResult and NodeModelResult to the public API and imports in __init__.py and model/__init__.py, and updated documentation to reflect these new types. [1] [2] [3]
• Updated type annotations and logic in matching and comparison modules to handle NodeModelResult and NetworkModelResult alongside existing model result types. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Matching and Extraction Logic

• Enhanced the match function and related helpers to support matching network observations and models, including correct extraction and alignment logic for network types. [1] [2] [3]

Data Handling and Conversion

• Introduced a _drop_scalar_coords utility to consistently remove scalar coordinates (including node) from xarray datasets when converting to pandas DataFrames, ensuring clean dataframes for all geometry types. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
• Modified methods for converting comparison results to observations and dataframes to handle network geometries, including new logic for the node coordinate and NodeObservation. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Attribute and Geometry Type Handling

• Improved geometry type (gtype) inference and handling throughout the codebase to support the new network type, ensuring correct behavior and error handling for all supported geometries. [1] [2]

API and Type Annotation Consistency

• Updated imports, type annotations, and public API exports to consistently include network-related types in all relevant modules. [1] [2] [3]

These changes collectively enable robust support for network-based model results and observations, aligning the handling of network geometries with existing modelskill workflows.

Pull request overview

Adds initial support for network-based model results and observations in modelskill, aiming to enable matching/comparison workflows for node-indexed time series (e.g., 1D network models) alongside existing point/track workflows.

Changes:

• Introduces NetworkModelResult / NodeModelResult and NodeObservation / NetworkObservation types and wires them into match() and Comparer type annotations.
• Updates TimeSeries validation and dataframe/export helpers to allow node-based coordinates (no x/y).
• Adds a demonstration notebook for network workflows.
