cf.Field.finalize

Field.finalize(chunksize=None)

Finalize a newly created field.

It is essential that this is carried out on every new field to ensure that methods and functions of fields work correctly. Finalization entails:

• Expanding scalar coordinate and cell measures to 1-d.
• Setting the direction of the domain’s dimensions.
• Conforming the domain’s internal dimension names.
• Partitioning the data arrays for LAMA functionality.

Parameters :

chunksize : int, optional

Set the maximum size in bytes of partition data arrays for storage and processing. By default the size used by the cf.CHUNKSIZE function is used.

Returns :

None

Examples

>>> f.finalize()
>>> f.finalize(2**30)
