cf.BoundedVariable.equals

BoundedVariable.equals(other, rtol=None, atol=None, ignore_fill_value=False, traceback=False, ignore=())[source]

True if two bounded variables are equal, False otherwise.

Parameters:
other:

The object to compare for equality.

atol: float, optional

The absolute tolerance for all numerical comparisons, By default the value returned by the cf.ATOL function is used.

rtol: float, optional

The relative tolerance for all numerical comparisons, By default the value returned by the cf.RTOL function is used.

ignore_fill_value: bool, optional

If True then data arrays with different fill values are considered equal. By default they are considered unequal.

traceback: bool, optional

If True then print a traceback highlighting where the two bounded variables differ.

ignore: tuple, optional

The names of CF properties to omit from the comparison.
Returns:
out: bool

Whether or not the two bounded variables are equal.
Examples: 
>>> f.equals(f)
True
>>> g = f + 1
>>> f.equals(g)
False
>>> g -= 1
>>> f.equals(g)
True
>>> f.setprop('name', 'name0')
>>> g.setprop('name', 'name1')
>>> f.equals(g)
False
>>> f.equals(g, ignore=['name'])
True
