scipp.vector#

scipp.vector(value, *, unit=<automatically deduced unit>)#

Constructs a zero dimensional Variable holding a single length-3 vector.

Parameters:

  • value (Union[_Buffer, _SupportsArray[dtype[Any]], _NestedSequence[_SupportsArray[dtype[Any]]], complex, bytes, str, _NestedSequence[complex | bytes | str]]) – Initial value, a list or 1-D numpy array.

  • unit (Unit | str | DefaultUnit | None, default: <automatically deduced unit>) – Unit of contents.

Returns:

Variable – A scalar (zero-dimensional) variable of a vector.
