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
