cf.Bounds.uncompress

Bounds.uncompress(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Uncompress the construct.

Whether or not the construct is compressed does not alter its functionality nor external appearance.

A construct that is already uncompressed will be returned uncompressed.

The following type of compression are available:

  • Ragged arrays for discrete sampling geometries (DSG). Three different types of ragged array representation are supported.

  • Compression by gathering.

  • Compression by coordinate subsampling

Added in version (cfdm): 1.7.11

Parameters:
inplace: bool, optional

If True then do the operation in-place and return None.

Returns:
Bounds or None

The uncompressed construct, or None if the operation was in-place.

Examples

>>> f.data.get_compression_type()
'ragged contiguous'
>>> g = f.uncompress()
>>> g.data.get_compression_type()
''
>>> g.equals(f)
True
