arlpy.bf.steering doesn't exist in ARL py tools package

Question

I am trying to run this example from ARL py Tools documentation for generating Barlett Beampattern which mentions usage of arlpy.bf.steering() ; but when I try to run it says steering() not found.

sd = arlpy.bf.steering(np.linspace(0, 5, 11), 1500, np.linspace(-np.pi/2, np.pi/2, 181))
bp = arlpy.bf.bartlett_beampattern(90, 1500, sd, show=True)

Error:

AttributeError: module 'arlpy.bf' has no attribute 'steering'

The documentation notes from April 2020 also mention the usage for the same function but doesn't show definition of that function anywhere.

Refer: Page 16 at https://arlpy.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/
The version of arlpy I am using is 1.7.0 which appears to be the latest.

Please advise what should be done to fix it?

Answer 1

This has been resolved now, as it seems that it arlpy.bf.steering() stayed from the pervious version which is now outdated and it will be updated to arlpy.bf.steering_plane_wave() in the next release.

Check my issue post on their github for more information: https://github.com/org-arl/arlpy/issues/61 which has been closed now.
