to_cf(self, bool rotated_pole=False)#

New in version 3.0.0.

This converts a pyproj.crs.CoordinateSystem axis to a list of Climate and Forecast (CF) Version 1.8 dicts.

Parameters:

rotated_pole (bool, default=False) – If True, the geographic coordinates are on a rotated pole grid. This corresponds to the rotated_latitude_longitude grid_mapping_name.

Returns:

CF-1.8 version of the CoordinateSystem.

Return type:

List[dict]

to_json(self, bool pretty=False, int indentation=2)#

New in version 2.4.0.

Convert the object to a JSON string.

Parameters:

  • pretty (bool, default=False) – If True, it will set the output to be a multiline string.

  • indentation (int, default=2) – If pretty is True, it will set the width of the indentation.

Return type:

str

to_json_dict(self)#

New in version 2.4.0.

Convert the object to a JSON dictionary.

Return type:

dict
