xoa.cf.CFCoordSpecs.format_dataarray

CFCoordSpecs.format_dataarray(da, name=None, loc=None, rename=True, attrs=True, standardize=True, specialize=False, rename_dim=True, replace_attrs=False, copy=True, add_loc_to_name=None)

Format a DataArray’s name and attributes

Parameters

  • da (xarray.DataArray) –

  • name (str, None) – A CF name. If not provided, it guessed with match().

  • loc (str, {"any", None}, {"", False}) –

    • str: one of these locations

    • None or “any”: any

    • False or ‘””: no location

  • rename (bool) – Rename arrays when their name is set?

  • add_loc_to_name (None, bool) – Add the loc to the name, overriding the specs.

  • attrs (bool, dict) – If False, does not change attributes at all. If True, use Cf attributes. If a dict, use this dict.

  • replace_attrs (bool) – Replace existing attributes?

  • standardize (bool) –

  • specialize (bool) – Does not use the CF name for renaming, but the first name as listed in specs, which is generally a specialized one, like a name adopted by specialized dataset.

  • rename_dim (bool) – For a 1D array, rename the dimension if it has the same name as the array. Note that it is set to False, if rename is False.

  • copy (bool) – Force a copy (not of the data) in any case?

Returns

xarray.DataArray, str, None – The formatted array or copy of it. The CF name, given or matching, if rename if False; and None if not matching.
