Reads one or more tables with *x, y, z* columns and creates a binary grid file. xyz2grd will report if some of the nodes are not filled in with data. Such unconstrained nodes are set to a value specified by the user [Default is NaN]. Nodes with more than one value will be set to the mean value. Full option list at :gmt-docs:`xyz2grd.html` {aliases} Parameters ---------- data : str or {table-like} Pass in (x, y, z) or (longitude, latitude, elevation) values by providing a file name to an ASCII data table, a 2D {table-classes}. x/y/z : 1d arrays The arrays of x and y coordinates and z data points. outgrid : str or None Optional. The name of the output netCDF file with extension .nc to store the grid in. duplicate : str [**d**\|\ **f**\|\ **l**\|\ **m**\|\ **n**\|\ **r**\|\ **S**\|\ **s**\|\ **u**\|\ **z**]. By default we will calculate mean values if multiple entries fall on the same node. Use **-A** to change this behavior, except it is ignored if **-Z** is given. Append **f** or **s** to simply keep the first or last data point that was assigned to each node. Append **l** or **u** or **d** to find the lowest (minimum) or upper (maximum) value or the difference between the maximum and miminum value at each node, respectively. Append **m** or **r** or **S** to compute mean or RMS value or standard deviation at each node, respectively. Append **n** to simply count the number of data points that were assigned to each node (this only requires two input columns *x* and *y* as *z* is not consulted). Append **z** to sum multiple values that belong to the same node. {I} {J} {R} {V} convention : str [*flags*]. Read a 1-column ASCII [or binary] table. This assumes that all the nodes are present and sorted according to specified ordering convention contained in *flags*. If incoming data represents rows, make *flags* start with **T**\ (op) if first row is y = ymax or **B**\ (ottom) if first row is y = ymin. Then, append **L** or **R** to indicate that first element is at left or right end of row. Likewise for column formats: start with **L** or **R** to position first column, and then append **T** or **B** to position first element in a row. **Note**: These two row/column indicators are only required for grids; for other tables they do not apply. For gridline registered grids: If data are periodic in x but the incoming data do not contain the (redundant) column at x = xmax, append **x**. For data periodic in y without redundant row at y = ymax, append **y**. Append **s**\ *n* to skip the first *n* number of bytes (probably a header). If the byte-order or the words needs to be swapped, append **w**. Select one of several data types (all binary except **a**): - **A** ASCII representation of one or more floating point values per record - **a** ASCII representation of a single item per record - **c** int8_t, signed 1-byte character - **u** uint8_t, unsigned 1-byte character - **h** int16_t, signed 2-byte integer - **H** uint16_t, unsigned 2-byte integer - **i** int32_t, signed 4-byte integer - **I** uint32_t, unsigned 4-byte integer - **l** int64_t, long (8-byte) integer - **L** uint64_t, unsigned long (8-byte) integer - **f** 4-byte floating point single precision - **d** 8-byte floating point double precision Default format is scanline orientation of ASCII numbers: **-ZTLa**. The difference between **A** and **a** is that the latter can decode both *date*\ **T**\ *clock* and *ddd:mm:ss[.xx]* formats but expects each input record to have a single value, while the former can handle multiple values per record but can only parse regular floating point values. Translate incoming *z*-values via the ``incols`` parameter. {b} {d} {e} {f} {h} {i} {r} {w} Returns ------- ret: xarray.DataArray or None Return type depends on whether the ``outgrid`` parameter is set: - :class:`xarray.DataArray`: if ``outgrid`` is not set - None if ``outgrid`` is set (grid output will be stored in file set by ``outgrid``) """ with GMTTempFile(suffix=".nc") as tmpfile: with Session() as lib: file_context = lib.virtualfile_from_data( check_kind="vector", data=data, x=x, y=y, z=z, required_z=True ) with file_context as infile: if "G" not in kwargs: # if outgrid is unset, output to tempfile kwargs.update({"G": tmpfile.name}) outgrid = kwargs["G"] arg_str = " ".join([infile, build_arg_string(kwargs)]) lib.call_module("xyz2grd", arg_str) return load_dataarray(outgrid) if outgrid == tmpfile.name else None
