xarray.DataArray.reindex

DataArray.reindex(method=None, tolerance=None, copy=True, **indexers)

Conform this object onto a new set of indexes, filling in missing values with NaN.

Parameters:

copy : bool, optional

If copy=True, the returned array’s dataset contains only copied variables. If copy=False and no reindexing is required then original variables from this array’s dataset are returned.

method : {None, ‘nearest’, ‘pad’/’ffill’, ‘backfill’/’bfill’}, optional

Method to use for filling index values in indexers not found on this data array:

  • None (default): don’t fill gaps
  • pad / ffill: propagate last valid index value forward
  • backfill / bfill: propagate next valid index value backward
  • nearest: use nearest valid index value (requires pandas>=0.16)

tolerance : optional

Maximum distance between original and new labels for inexact matches. The values of the index at the matching locations most satisfy the equation abs(index[indexer] - target) <= tolerance. Requires pandas>=0.17.

**indexers : dict

Dictionary with keys given by dimension names and values given by arrays of coordinates tick labels. Any mis-matched coordinate values will be filled in with NaN, and any mis-matched dimension names will simply be ignored.

Returns:

reindexed : DataArray

Another dataset array, with this array’s data but replaced coordinates.
