PatchMeta(
    coords: ‘CoordManager’ ,
    attrs: ‘PatchAttrs’ ,
    dtype: ‘Any’ ,
    backend: ‘str’ = numpy,
    patch_type: ‘Any’ = None,
)-> None

Everything a patch carries except its data.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
coords	The coordinates, which carry the dimensions and the shape too.
attrs	The patch’s attributes.
dtype	What the data are. Held separately because a kernel may promote – `normalize` divides, so integers come back as floats – and the metadata cannot always say in advance what it will be.
backend	Which array library the data belong to, as `backend_name` spells it. This is how a kernel is chosen without looking at an array.

Methods

Name	Description
get_axis	Return the axis a dimension name refers to.
to_patch	Return the patch this metadata and some data make.
update	Return metadata with some of it changed.
