"""Example: Heterogeneous Speedup by Wind Direction and Wind Speed

The HeterogeneousMap object is a flexible way to define speedups as a function of wind direction
and/or wind speed.  It also contains methods to plot the speedup map for a given wind direction
and wind speed.

This example:

    1) Instantiates a HeterogeneousMap object with speedups defined for two wind directions
        and two wind speeds
    2) Visualizes the speedups for two particular combinations of wind direction and wind speed
    3) Runs a FLORIS simulation using the HeterogeneousMap and visualizes the results
