cf.Constructs.filter_by_measure

Constructs.filter_by_measure(*measures, todict=False, cached=None)[source]

Select cell measure constructs by measure.

New in version (cfdm): 1.7.0

filter, filters_applied, inverse_filter, clear_filters_applied, unfilter

Parameters
measures: optional

Select cell measure constructs that have a measure, defined by their get_measure methods, that matches any of the given values.

If no measures are provided then all cell measure constructs are selected.

A value may be any object that can match via the == operator, or a re.Pattern object that matches via its search method.

todict: bool, optional

If True then return a dictionary of constructs keyed by their construct identifiers, instead of a Constructs object. This is a faster option.

New in version (cfdm): 1.8.9.0

cached: optional

If any value other than None then return cached without selecting any constructs.

New in version (cfdm): 1.8.9.0

Returns
Constructs or dict or cached

The selected constructs, or a cached valued.

Constructs

The selected cell measure constructs and their construct keys.

Examples

>>> print(t.constructs.filter_by_type('measure'))
Constructs:
{'cellmeasure0': <CellMeasure: measure:area(9, 10) km2>,
 'cellmeasure1': <CellMeasure: measure:volume(3, 9, 10) m3>}

Select cell measure constructs that have a measure of ‘area’:

>>> print(c.filter_by_measure('area'))
Constructs:
{'cellmeasure0': <CellMeasure: measure:area(9, 10) km2>}

Select cell measure constructs that have a measure of ‘area’ or ‘volume’:

>>> print(c.filter_by_measure('area', 'volume'))
Constructs:
{'cellmeasure0': <CellMeasure: measure:area(9, 10) km2>,
 'cellmeasure1': <CellMeasure: measure:volume(3, 9, 10) m3>}

Select cell measure constructs that have a measure of start with the letter “a” or “v”:

>>> print(c.filter_by_measure(re.compile('^a|v')))
Constructs:
{'cellmeasure0': <CellMeasure: measure:area(9, 10) km2>,
 'cellmeasure1': <CellMeasure: measure:volume(3, 9, 10) m3>}

Select cell measure constructs that have a measure of any value:

>>> print(c.filer_by_measure())
Constructs:
{'cellmeasure0': <CellMeasure: measure:area(9, 10) km2>,
 'cellmeasure1': <CellMeasure: measure:volume(3, 9, 10) m3>}
