cf.Data.mask_invalid

Data.mask_invalid(i=False)

Mask the array where invalid values occur (NaNs or infs).

Note that:

• Invalid values in the results of arithmetic operations may only occur if the raising of FloatingPointError exceptions has been suppressed by cf.Data.seterr.
• If the raising of FloatingPointError exceptions has been allowed then invalid values in the results of arithmetic operations may be automatically converted to masked values, depending on the setting of cf.Data.mask_fpe. In this case, such automatic conversion might be faster than calling mask_invalid.

Parameters :

i : bool, optional

If True then update the data array in place. By default a new data array is created.

Returns :

out : cf.Data

Examples

>>> d = cf.Data([0., 1])
>>> e = cf.Data([1., 2])
>>> old = cf.Data.seterr('ignore')

>>> f = e/d
>>> f
<CF Data: [inf, 2.0] >
>>> f.mask_invalid()
<CF Data: [--, 2.0] >

>>> f=e**12345
>>> f
<CF Data: [1.0, inf] >
>>> f.mask_invalid()
<CF Data: [1.0, --] >

>>> old = cf.Data.seterr('raise')
>>> old = cf.Data.mask_fpe(True)
>>> e/d
<CF Data: [--, 2.0] >
>>> e**12345
<CF Data: [1.0, --] >
