sisl.io.openmx.SileCDFOpenMX

class sisl.io.openmx.SileCDFOpenMX(filename, mode='r', lvl=0, access=1, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: SileCDF

Methods

base_directory([relative_to])

Retrieve the base directory of the file, relative to the path relative_to

close()

dir_file([filename, filename_base])

File of the current Sile

iter([group, dimension, variable, levels, root])

Iterator on all groups, variables and dimensions.

read(*args, **kwargs)

Generic read method which should be overloaded in child-classes

write(*args, **kwargs)

Generic write method which should be overloaded in child-classes

Attributes

base_directory(relative_to='.')

close()
dir_file(filename=None, filename_base='')

File of the current Sile

iter(group=True, dimension=True, variable=True, levels=-1, root=None)

Iterator on all groups, variables and dimensions.

This iterator iterates through all groups, variables and dimensions in the Dataset

The generator sequence will _always_ be:

  1. Group

  2. Dimensions in group

  3. Variables in group

As the dimensions are generated before the variables it is possible to copy groups, dimensions, and then variables such that one always ensures correct dependencies in the generation of a new SileCDF.

Parameters:

  • group (bool (True)) – whether the iterator yields Group instances

  • dimension (bool (True)) – whether the iterator yields Dimension instances

  • variable (bool (True)) – whether the iterator yields Variable instances

  • levels (int (-1)) – number of levels to traverse, with respect to root variable, i.e. number of sub-groups this iterator will return.

  • root (str (None)) – the base root to start iterating from.

Examples

Script for looping and checking each instance.

>>> for gv in self.iter():
...     if self.isGroup(gv):
...         # is group
...     elif self.isDimension(gv):
...         # is dimension
...     elif self.isVariable(gv):
...         # is variable
read(*args, **kwargs)

Generic read method which should be overloaded in child-classes

Parameters:

kwargs – keyword arguments will try and search for the attribute read_<> and call it with the remaining **kwargs as arguments.

write(*args, **kwargs)

Generic write method which should be overloaded in child-classes

Parameters:

**kwargs – keyword arguments will try and search for the attribute write_ and call it with the remaining **kwargs as arguments.
