cf.DimensionCoordinate.asdimension

DimensionCoordinate.asdimension(copy=True)

Return the dimension coordinate.

Parameters:

copy : bool, optional

If False then the returned dimension coordinate is not independent. By default the returned dimension coordinate is independent.

Returns:

out : cf.DimensionCoordinate

The dimension coordinate.

Examples:

>>> d = c.asdimension()
>>> print d is c
True

>>> d = c.asdimension(copy=False)
>>> print d == c
True
>>> print d is c
False
