cfdm.FullArray

---

class cfdm.FullArray(fill_value=None, dtype=None, shape=None, attributes=None, source=None, copy=True)

Bases: IndexMixin, Array

A array filled with a given value.

The array may be empty or all missing values.

Added in version (cfdm): 1.12.0.0

Initialisation

Parameters:

fill_valuescalar, optional

The fill value for the array. May be set to cf.masked or np.ma.masked.

dtype: numpy.dtype

The data type of the array.

shape: tuple

The array dimension sizes.

attributes: dict or None, optional

Provide netCDF attributes for the data as a dictionary of key/value pairs.

source: optional

Convert source, which can be any type of object, to a FullArray instance.

All other parameters, apart from copy, are ignored and their values are instead inferred from source by assuming that it has the FullArray API. Any parameters that can not be retrieved from source in this way are assumed to have their default value.

Note that if x is also a FullArray instance then cfdm.FullArray(source=x) is equivalent to x.copy().

copy: bool, optional

If True (the default) then deep copy the input parameters prior to initialisation. By default the parameters are not deep copied.
