Domain
(source=None, copy=True, _use_data=True)[source]¶ Bases:
cfdm.core.mixin.constructaccess.ConstructAccess
,cfdm.core.abstract.container.Container
A domain of the CF data model.
The domain represents a set of discrete “locations” in what generally would be a multi-dimensional space, either in the real world or in a model’s simulated world. These locations correspond to individual data array elements of a field construct
The domain is defined collectively by the following constructs of the CF data model: domain axis, dimension coordinate, auxiliary coordinate, cell measure, coordinate reference and domain ancillary constructs.
New in version 1.7.0.
Initialization
Parameters: - source: optional
Initialize the metadata constructs from those of source.
A new domain may also be instantiated with the
fromconstructs
class method.- copy:
bool
, optional If False then do not deep copy input parameters prior to initialization. By default arguments are deep copied.
