A domain axis construct of the CF data model.
A domain axis construct specifies the number of points along an independent axis of the domain. It comprises a positive integer representing the size of the axis. In CF-netCDF it is usually defined either by a netCDF dimension or by a scalar coordinate variable, which implies a domain axis of size one. The field construct’s data array spans the domain axis constructs of the domain, with the optional exception of size one axes, because their presence makes no difference to the order of the elements.
NetCDF interface
The netCDF dimension name of the construct may be accessed with the
nc_set_dimension
,nc_get_dimension
,nc_del_dimension
andnc_has_dimension
methods.New in version 1.7.0.
Initialization
- Parameters
- size:
int
, optional The size of the domain axis.
The size may also be set after initialisation with the
set_size
method.- Parameter example:
size=192
- source: optional
Initialize the size from that of source.
- copy:
bool
, optional If False then do not deep copy input parameters prior to initialization. By default arguments are deep copied.
- size:
