cartopy.util.add_cyclic_point#

cartopy.util.add_cyclic_point(data, coord=None, axis=-1)[source]#

Add a cyclic point to an array and optionally a corresponding coordinate.

Parameters:

  • data – An n-dimensional array of data to add a cyclic point to.

  • coord (optional) – A 1-dimensional array which specifies the coordinate values for the dimension the cyclic point is to be added to. The coordinate values must be regularly spaced. Defaults to None.

  • axis (optional) – Specifies the axis of the data array to add the cyclic point to. Defaults to the right-most axis.

Returns:

  • cyclic_data – The data array with a cyclic point added.

  • cyclic_coord – The coordinate with a cyclic point, only returned if the coord keyword was supplied.

Examples

Adding a cyclic point to a data array, where the cyclic dimension is the right-most dimension.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> data = np.ones([5, 6]) * np.arange(6)
>>> cyclic_data = add_cyclic_point(data)
>>> print(cyclic_data)  
[[0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]
 [0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]
 [0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]
 [0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]
 [0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]]

Adding a cyclic point to a data array and an associated coordinate

>>> lons = np.arange(0, 360, 60)
>>> cyclic_data, cyclic_lons = add_cyclic_point(data, coord=lons)
>>> print(cyclic_data)  
[[0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]
 [0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]
 [0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]
 [0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]
 [0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 0.]]
>>> print(cyclic_lons)
[  0  60 120 180 240 300 360]
