Parameters:
types: optional

Select constructs that have are of any of the given types.

A type is specified by one of the following strings:

type Construct selected
'domain_ancillary' Domain ancillary constructs
'dimension_coordinate' Dimension coordinate constructs
'domain_axis' Domain axis constructs
'auxiliary_coordinate' Auxiliary coordinate constructs
'cell_measure' Cell measure constructs
'coordinate_reference' Coordinate reference constructs
'cell_method' Cell method constructs
'field_ancillary' Field ancillary constructs

If no types are provided then all constructs are selected.
Returns:
Constructs

The selected constructs and their construct keys.

Examples:

Select dimension coordinate constructs:

>>> d = c.filter_by_type('dimension_coordinate')

Select dimension coordinate and field ancillary constructs:

>>> d = c.filter_by_type('dimension_coordinate', 'field_ancillary')
