podpac.coordinates.Coordinates¶

class podpac.coordinates.Coordinates(coords, dims=None, crs=None, validate_crs=True)[source]¶

Bases: traitlets.traitlets.HasTraits

Multidimensional Coordinates.

Coordinates are used to evaluate Nodes and to define the coordinates of a DataSource nodes. The API is modeled after coords in xarray:

Coordinates are created from a list of coordinate values and dimension names.

Coordinate values are always either float or np.datetime64. For convenience, podpac automatically converts datetime strings such as '2018-01-01' to np.datetime64.

The allowed dimensions are 'lat', 'lon', 'time', and 'alt'.

Coordinates from multiple dimensions can be stacked together to represent a list of coordinates instead of a grid of coordinates. The name of the stacked coordinates uses an underscore to combine the underlying dimensions, e.g. 'lat_lon'.

Coordinates are dict-like, for example:

get coordinates by dimension name: coords['lat']

get iterable dimension keys and coordinates values: coords.keys(), coords.values()

loop through dimensions: for dim in coords: ...

Parameters

dims – Tuple of dimension names, potentially stacked.
udims – Tuple of individual dimension names, always unstacked.

intersect(other, dims=None, outer=False, return_index=False)[source]¶

Get the coordinate values that are within the bounds of a given coordinates object.

The intersection is calculated in each dimension separately.

The default intersection selects coordinates that are within the other coordinates bounds:

In [1]: coords = Coordinates([[0, 1, 2, 3]], dims=['lat'])

In [2]: other = Coordinates([[1.5, 2.5]], dims=['lat'])

In [3]: coords.intersect(other).coords
Out[3]:
Coordinates:
  * lat      (lat) float64 2.0

The outer intersection selects the minimal set of coordinates that contain the other coordinates:

In [4]: coords.intersect(other, outer=True).coords
Out[4]:
Coordinates:
  * lat      (lat) float64 1.0 2.0 3.0

The outer intersection also selects a boundary coordinate if the other coordinates are outside this coordinates bounds but inside its area bounds:

In [5]: other_near = Coordinates([[3.25]], dims=['lat'])

In [6]: other_far = Coordinates([[10.0]], dims=['lat'])

In [7]: coords.intersect(other_near, outer=True).coords
Coordinates:
  * lat      (lat) float64 3.0

In [8]: coords.intersect(other_far, outer=True).coords
Coordinates:
  * lat      (lat) float64

Parameters

other (Coordinates1d, StackedCoordinates, Coordinates) – Coordinates to intersect with.
dims (list, optional) – Restrict intersection to the given dimensions. Default is all available dimensions.
outer (bool, optional) – If True, do an outer intersection. Default False.
return_index (bool, optional) – If True, return index for the selection in addition to coordinates. Default False.

The json can be used to create new Coordinates:

c = podapc.Coordinates(...)
c2 = podpac.Coordinates.from_json(c.definition)

The serialized definition is used to define coordinates in node definitions and to transport coordinates, e.g. over HTTP and in AWS lambda functions. It also provides a consistent hashable value.
