Creation functions#

array(*, dims, values[, variances, unit, dtype])

Constructs a Variable with given dimensions, containing given values and optional variances.

arange(dim, start[, stop, step, unit, dtype])

Constructs a Variable with evenly spaced values within a given interval.

datetime(value, *[, unit])

Constructs a zero dimensional Variable with a dtype of datetime64.

datetimes(*, dims, values[, unit])

Constructs an array Variable with a dtype of datetime64.

empty(*[, dims, shape, sizes, unit, dtype, ...])

Constructs a Variable with uninitialized values with given dimension labels and shape.

empty_like(var)

Constructs a new object with the same dims, shape, unit and dtype as the input (Variable or DataArray), but with all values uninitialized.

epoch(*, unit)

Constructs a zero dimensional Variable with a dtype of datetime64 that contains scipp's epoch.

full(*[, dims, shape, sizes, unit, dtype, ...])

Constructs a Variable with values initialized to the specified value with given dimension labels and shape.

full_like(var, value[, variance])
