xarray.DataArray.broadcast_equals#

DataArray.broadcast_equals(other)[source]#

Two DataArrays are broadcast equal if they are equal after broadcasting them against each other such that they have the same dimensions.

Parameters:

other (DataArray) – DataArray to compare to.

Returns:

equal (bool) – True if the two DataArrays are broadcast equal.

Examples

>>> a = xr.DataArray([1, 2], dims="X")
>>> b = xr.DataArray([[1, 1], [2, 2]], dims=["X", "Y"])
>>> a
<xarray.DataArray (X: 2)>
array([1, 2])
Dimensions without coordinates: X
>>> b
<xarray.DataArray (X: 2, Y: 2)>
array([[1, 1],
       [2, 2]])
Dimensions without coordinates: X, Y

.equals returns True if two DataArrays have the same values, dimensions, and coordinates. .broadcast_equals returns True if the results of broadcasting two DataArrays against eachother have the same values, dimensions, and coordinates.

>>> a.equals(b)
False
>>> a2, b2 = xr.broadcast(a, b)
>>> a2.equals(b2)
True
>>> a.broadcast_equals(b)
True
