cfdm.core.Properties

---

class cfdm.core.Properties(properties=None, source=None, copy=True)

Bases: cfdm.core.abstract.container.Container

Mixin class for an object with descriptive properties.

New in version (cfdm): 1.7.0

Initialisation

Parameters

properties: dict, optional

Set descriptive properties. The dictionary keys are property names, with corresponding values. Ignored if the source parameter is set.

Properties may also be set after initialisation with the set_properties and set_property methods.

Parameter example:

properties={'standard_name': 'altitude'}

source: optional

Initialise the properties from those of source.

Note that if source is a Properties instance then cfdm.core.Properties(source=source) is equivalent to source.copy().

copy: bool, optional

If False then do not deep copy input parameters prior to initialisation. By default arguments are deep copied.
