cf.DimensionCoordinate.X

DimensionCoordinate.X

True if and only if the data are coordinates for a CF ‘X’ axis.

CF ‘X’ axis coordinates are defined by having one or more of the following:

  • The axis property has the value 'X'

  • Units of longitude

  • The standard_name property is one of 'longitude', 'projection_x_coordinate' or 'grid_longitude'
