cf.FieldList

class cf.FieldList(sequence=())

Bases: cf.variablelist.VariableList

An ordered sequence of fields stored in a list-like object.

In some contexts, whether an object is a field or a field list is not known and does not matter. So to avoid ungainly type testing, some aspects of the FieldList interface are shared by a field and vice versa.

Any attribute or method belonging to a field may be used on a field list and will be applied independently to each element.

Just as it is straight forward to iterate over the fields in a field list, a field will behave like a single element field list in iterative and indexing contexts.

Initialization

Parameters :

sequence : iterable, optional

Define a new list with these elements.

FieldList attributes

subspace

Slice each field in the list, returning a new list of fields.
