cfdm.CFDMImplementation.get_data_ndim

CFDMImplementation.get_data_ndim(parent)

Return the number of dimensions spanned by the data array.

Parameters:

parent:

The object containing the data array.

Returns:

int

The number of dimensions spanned by the data array.

Examples

>>> w = cfdm.implementation()
>>> d = cfdm.DimensionCoordinate(
...     properties={
...         'standard_name': 'latitude', 'units': 'degrees_north'},
...     data=cfdm.Data(range(180))
... )
>>> d
<DimensionCoordinate: latitude(180) degrees_north>
>>> w.get_data_ndim(d)
1

>>> b = cfdm.Bounds(
...     properties={
...         'standard_name': 'latitude', 'units': 'degrees_north'},
...     data=cfdm.Data(numpy.arange(360).reshape(180, 2))
... )
>>> b
<Bounds: latitude(180, 2) degrees_north>
>>> w.get_data_ndim(b)
2
