class Forward(dict):
    """Forward class to represent info from forward solution.

    Like :class:`mne.Info`, this data structure behaves like a dictionary.
    It contains all metadata necessary for a forward solution.

    .. warning::
        This class should not be modified or created by users.
        Forward objects should be obtained using
        :func:`mne.make_forward_solution` or :func:`mne.read_forward_solution`.

    Attributes
    ----------
    ch_names : list of str
        A convenience wrapper accessible as ``fwd.ch_names`` which wraps
        ``fwd['info']['ch_names']``.

    See Also
    --------
    mne.make_forward_solution
    mne.read_forward_solution

    Notes
    -----
    Forward data is accessible via string keys using standard
    :class:`python:dict` access (e.g., ``fwd['nsource'] == 4096``):

        source_ori : int
            The source orientation, either ``FIFF.FIFFV_MNE_FIXED_ORI`` or
            ``FIFF.FIFFV_MNE_FREE_ORI``.
        coord_frame : int
            The coordinate frame of the forward solution, usually
            ``FIFF.FIFFV_COORD_HEAD``.
        nsource : int
            The number of source locations.
        nchan : int
            The number of channels.
        sol : dict
            The forward solution, with entries:

            ``'data'`` : ndarray, shape (n_channels, nsource * n_ori)
                The forward solution data. The shape will be
                ``(n_channels, nsource)`` for a fixed-orientation forward and
                ``(n_channels, nsource * 3)`` for a free-orientation forward.
            ``'row_names'`` : list of str
                The channel names.
        mri_head_t : instance of Transform
            The mri ↔ head transformation that was used.
        info : instance of :class:`~mne.Info`
            The measurement information (with contents reduced compared to that
            of the original data).
        src : instance of :class:`~mne.SourceSpaces`
            The source space used during forward computation. This can differ
            from the original source space as:

            1. Source points are removed due to proximity to (or existing
               outside)
               the inner skull surface.
            2. The source space will be converted to the ``coord_frame`` of the
               forward solution, which typically means it gets converted from
               MRI to head coordinates.
        source_rr : ndarray, shape (n_sources, 3)
            The source locations.
        source_nn : ndarray, shape (n_sources, 3)
            The source normals. Will be all +Z (``(0, 0, 1.)``) for volume
            source spaces. For surface source spaces, these are normal to the
            cortical surface.
        surf_ori : int
            Whether ``sol`` is surface-oriented with the surface normal in the
            Z component (``FIFF.FIFFV_MNE_FIXED_ORI``) or +Z in the given
            ``coord_frame`` in the Z component (``FIFF.FIFFV_MNE_FREE_ORI``).

    Forward objects also have some attributes that are accessible via ``.``
    access, like ``fwd.ch_names``.

    See Also
    --------

    Notes
    -----
    The defaults used by the minimum norm code and sparse solvers differ.
    In particular, the values for MNE are::

        compute_depth_prior(..., limit=10., limit_depth_chs=True,
                            combine_xyz='spectral')

    In sparse solvers and LCMV, the values are::

        compute_depth_prior(..., limit=None, limit_depth_chs='whiten',
                            combine_xyz='fro')

    The ``limit_depth_chs`` argument can take the following values:

    * :data:`python:True` (default)
          Use only grad channels in depth weighting (equivalent to MNE C
          minimum-norm code). If grad channels aren't present, only mag
          channels will be used (if no mag, then eeg). This makes the depth
          prior dependent only on the sensor geometry (and relationship
          to the sources).
    * ``'whiten'``
          Compute a whitener and apply it to the gain matrix before computing
          the depth prior. In this case ``noise_cov`` must not be None.
          Whitening the gain matrix makes the depth prior
          depend on both sensor geometry and the data of interest captured
          by the noise covariance (e.g., projections, SNR).

          .. versionadded:: 0.18
    * :data:`python:False`
          Use all channels. Not recommended since the depth weighting will be
          biased toward whichever channel type has the largest values in
          SI units (such as EEG being orders of magnitude larger than MEG).

        command-line tools can understand (i.e., raw or evoked).
    fname : path-like | None
        Destination forward solution filename. If None, the solution
        will be created in a temporary directory, loaded, and deleted.
    src : str | None
        Source space name. If None, the MNE default is used.
    spacing : str
        The spacing to use. Can be ``'#'`` for spacing in mm, ``'ico#'`` for a
        recursively subdivided icosahedron, or ``'oct#'`` for a recursively
        subdivided octahedron (e.g., ``spacing='ico4'``). Default is 7 mm.
    mindist : float | str | None
        Minimum distance measof sources from inner skull surface (in mm).
        If None, the MNE default value is used. If string, ``'all'``
        indicates to include all points.
    bem : str | None
        Name of the BEM to use (e.g., ``"sample-5120-5120-5120"``). If None
        (Default), the MNE default will be used.
    mri : dict | path-like | None
        The name of the trans file in FIF format.
        If None, ``trans`` must not be None.
    trans : dict | path-like | None
        File name of the trans file in text format.
        If None, ``mri`` must not be None.
    eeg : bool
        If True (Default), include EEG computations.
    meg : bool
        If True (Default), include MEG computations.
    fixed : bool
        If True, make a fixed-orientation forward solution (Default:
        False). Note that fixed-orientation inverses can still be
        created from free-orientation forward solutions.
    grad : bool
        If True, compute the gradient of the field with respect to the
        dipole coordinates as well (Default: False).

    """Average forward solutions.

    Parameters
    ----------
    fwds : list of Forward
        Forward solutions to average. Each entry (dict) should be a
        forward solution.
    weights : array | None
        Weights to apply to each forward solution in averaging. If None,
        forward solutions will be equally weighted. Weights must be
        non-negative, and will be adjusted to sum to one.

    -------
    fwd : Forward
        The averaged forward solution.
