cf.Coordinate.fill_value

Coordinate.fill_value()[source]

Return the data array missing data value.

This is the value of the missing_value CF property, or if that is not set, the value of the _FillValue CF property, else if that is not set, None. In the last case the default numpy missing data value for the array’s data type is assumed if a missing data value is required.

Returns:
out :

The missing data value, or None if one hasn’t been set.

Examples:
>>> f.fill_value()
None
>>> f._FillValue = -1e30
>>> f.fill_value()
-1e30
>>> f.missing_value = 1073741824
>>> f.fill_value()
1073741824
>>> del f.missing_value
>>> f.fill_value()
-1e30
>>> del f._FillValue
>>> f.fill_value()
None
