cf.Constructs.unfilter

Constructs.unfilter(depth=None, copy=True)[source]

Return the constructs that existed prior to previous filters.

By default, the unfiltered constructs are those that existed before all previously applied filters.

If the depth parameter is set to N then the unfiltered constructs are those that existed before the N-th most recently applied filter.

A history of the filters that have been applied is returned in a tuple by the filters_applied method. The last element of the tuple describes the last filter applied. If no filters have been applied then the tuple is empty.

New in version (cfdm): 1.7.0

Parameters
depth: int, optional

If set to N then return the constructs selected by the N-th most recently applied filter. By default the constructs from before all previously applied filters are returned. N may be larger than the total number of filters applied, which results in the default behaviour.

Returns
Constructs

The constructs, and their construct keys, that existed before the last filter was applied. If no filters have been applied then all of the constructs are returned.

Examples:

>>> print(c)
Constructs:
{'cellmethod0': <CellMethod: area: mean>,
 'dimensioncoordinate0': <DimensionCoordinate: latitude(5) degrees_north>,
 'dimensioncoordinate1': <DimensionCoordinate: longitude(8) degrees_east>,
 'dimensioncoordinate2': <DimensionCoordinate: time(1) days since 2018-12-01 >,
 'domainaxis0': <DomainAxis: size(5)>,
 'domainaxis1': <DomainAxis: size(8)>,
 'domainaxis2': <DomainAxis: size(1)>}
>>> d = c.filter_by_type('dimension_coordinate', 'cell_method')
>>> print(d)
Constructs:
{'cellmethod0': <CellMethod: area: mean>,
 'dimensioncoordinate0': <DimensionCoordinate: latitude(5) degrees_north>,
 'dimensioncoordinate1': <DimensionCoordinate: longitude(8) degrees_east>,
 'dimensioncoordinate2': <DimensionCoordinate: time(1) days since 2018-12-01 >}
>>> d.unfilter().equals(c)
True
>>> e = d.filter_by_method('mean')
>>> print(e)
Constructs:
{'cellmethod0': <CellMethod: area: mean>}
>>> c.unfilter().equals(c)
True
>>> c.unfilter(0).equals(c)
True
>>> e.unfilter().equals(c)
True
>>> e.unfilter(1).equals(d)
True
>>> e.unfilter(2).equals(c)
True

If no filters have been applied then the unfiltered constructs are unchanged:

>>> c.filters_applied()
()
>>> c.unfilter().equals(c)
True
