Compass
=======

The :class:`Compass` provides access to public methods to use compass of your
device.

Simple Examples
---------------

To enable compass::

    >>> from plyer import compass
    >>> compass.enable()

To disable compass::

    >>> compass.disable()

To get the field::

    >>> compass.field()
    (-23.721826553344727, -5.7114701271057129, -36.749668121337891)

To get the uncalibrated field along with iron bias estimation::

    >>> compass.field_uncalib()
    (a,b,c,x,y,z)
    # a,b,c denote the Geomagnetic field strength
    # (without hard iron calibration) along the three axes.
    # x,y,z denote the Iron bias estimation along the three axes.

Supported Platforms
-------------------
Android, iOS
