cf.Domain.insert_aux

Domain.insert_aux(item, key=None, axes=None, copy=True, replace=True)[source]

Insert a auxiliary coordinate into the domain in place.

Parameters:
coord
: cf.AuxiliaryCoordinate or cf.Coordinate or cf.DimensionCoordinate

The new coordinate. If not an auxiliary coordinate object then it will be converted to one.

key
: str, optional

The identifier for the new dimension coordinate. The identifier is of the form 'auxN' where the N part should be replaced by an arbitrary integer greater then or equal to zero. By default a unique identifier will be generated.

axes
: list, optional

The ordered axes of the new coordinate. Ignored if the coordinate is a dimension coordinate. Required if the coordinate is an auxiliary coordinate.

copy: bool, optional

If False then the auxiliary coordinate is not copied before insertion. By default it is copied.

replace
: bool, optional

If False then do not replace an existing auxiliary coordinate with the same identifier. By default an existing auxiliary coordinate with the same identifier is replaced with coord.

Returns:
out
: str

The identifier for the new auxiliary coordinate (see the key parameter).
