class cf.CellMethods(cell_methods=None)

Bases: _abcoll.MutableSequence

A CF cell methods object to describe the characteristic of a field that is represented by cell values.

Initialization

Parameters:

string

: str, optional

Initialize new instance from a CF-netCDF-like cell methods string. See the parse method for details. By default an empty cell methods is created.

>>> c = cf.CellMethods()
>>> c = cf.CellMethods('time: max: height: mean')

dump	Return a string containing a full description of the instance.
equals	True if two cell methods are equal, False otherwise.
equivalent	True if two cell methods are equivalent, False otherwise.

inspect	Inspect the attributes.
netcdf_translation	Translate netCDF variable names stored in the names attribute into axes and names attributes.

CellMethods list-like methods

count
extend
index	Raises ValueError if the value is not present.
insert
pop	Raise IndexError if list is empty or index is out of range.
