get_coord

Return a coordinate from provided inputs.

This function figures out which kind of Coordinate should be returned for provided inputs.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
data	An array indicating the values or an integer to specify the length of a partial coordinate.
values	Deprecated, use data instead.
start	The start value of the array, inclusive.
min	The minimum value, same as start.
stop	The stopping value of an array, exclusive.
step	The sampling spacing of an array.
units	Indication of units.
shape	If an int or tuple, the output should be a partial coord of with this shape. Otherwise, leave unset.
dtype	Data type for coord. Often can be inferred from other arguments.

Note

The following combinations of input parameters are typical: (start, stop, step) (values) (values, step) - useful for length 1 arrays.

Examples

import numpy as np
from dascore.core import get_coord

# Create a coordinate from a start, stop, and range value.
range_coord = get_coord(start=1, stop=12, step=1)

# Create an identical coordinate from an array.
array_coord = get_coord(data=np.arange(1, 12, 1))
# This array coord should return an identical coordinate
assert range_coord == array_coord

# Coordinate from an array that is sorted, but not evenly sampled
array = np.sort(np.random.rand(20))
array_coord2 = get_coord(data=array)

# Coordinate from random array
array = np.random.rand(20)
array_coord3 = get_coord(data=array)

# Create a partial coordinate of a given shape
partial_coord = get_coord(shape=(10,))
