xarray.DataArray.pipe#

DataArray.pipe(func, *args, **kwargs)[source]#

Apply func(self, *args, **kwargs)

This method replicates the pandas method of the same name.

Parameters:
  • func (callable()) – function to apply to this xarray object (Dataset/DataArray). args, and kwargs are passed into func. Alternatively a (callable, data_keyword) tuple where data_keyword is a string indicating the keyword of callable that expects the xarray object.

  • *args – positional arguments passed into func.

  • **kwargs – a dictionary of keyword arguments passed into func.

Returns:

object (Any) – the return type of func.

Notes

Use .pipe when chaining together functions that expect xarray or pandas objects, e.g., instead of writing

f(g(h(ds), arg1=a), arg2=b, arg3=c)

You can write

(ds.pipe(h).pipe(g, arg1=a).pipe(f, arg2=b, arg3=c))

If you have a function that takes the data as (say) the second argument, pass a tuple indicating which keyword expects the data. For example, suppose f takes its data as arg2:

(ds.pipe(h).pipe(g, arg1=a).pipe((f, "arg2"), arg1=a, arg3=c))
