cf.CellMethods¶

class cf.CellMethods(cell_methods=None)[source]¶

Bases: _abcoll.MutableSequence

A CF cell methods object to describe the characteristic of a field that is represented by cell values.

Initialization

Parameters:	string : str, optional Initialize new instance from a CF-netCDF-like cell methods string. See the `parse` method for details. By default an empty cell methods is created.
Examples:

>>> c = cf.CellMethods()
>>> c = cf.CellMethods('time: max: height: mean')

CellMethods attributes¶

`axes`
`comment`	Each cell method’s comment keyword.
`intervals`	Each cell method’s interval keyword(s).
`method`	Each cell method’s method keyword.
`names`	Each cell method’s name keyword(s).
`over`	Each cell method’s over keyword.
`where`	Each cell method’s where keyword.
`within`	Each cell method’s within keyword.

Undocumented methods behave exactly as their counterparts in a built-in list.

`copy`	Return a deep copy.
`dump`	Return a string containing a full description of the instance.
`equals`	True if two cell methods are equal, False otherwise.
`equivalent`	True if two cell methods are equivalent, False otherwise.
`has_cellmethod`	Return True if and only if this cell methods is a super set of another.
`inspect`	Inspect the attributes.
`netcdf_translation`	Translate netCDF variable names stored in the `names` attribute into `axes` and `names` attributes.

These methods provide functionality exactly as their counterparts in a built-in list.
