No project description provided

xarray backend for Selafin formats

Supports lazy loading by default.

Dev guide

To have the backend working in xarray, follow these steps:

pip install xarray-selafin

Read Selafin

import xarray as xr
ds = xr.open_dataset("tests/data/r3d_tidal_flats.slf", engine="selafin")
ds = xr.open_dataset("tests/data/r3d_tidal_flats.slf", lang="fr", engine="selafin")  # if variables are in French

Indexing

ds_last = ds.isel(time=-1)  # last frame

Manipulate variables

ds = ds.assign(UTIMES100=lambda x: x.U * 100)  # Add a new variable
# ds.attrs["variables"]["UTIMES100"] = ("UTIMES100", "My/Unit")  # To provide variable name and unit (optional)
ds.drop_vars(["W"])  # Remove variable `VELOCITY W`

Write Selafin

ds.selafin.write("output_file.slf")
