xarray.Index.rename

Index.rename(name_dict, dims_dict)

Maybe update the index with new coordinate and dimension names.

This method should be re-implemented in subclasses of Index if it has attributes that depend on coordinate or dimension names.

By default (if not re-implemented), it returns the index itself.

Warning: the input names are not filtered for this method, they may correspond to any variable or dimension of a Dataset or a DataArray.

Parameters

• name_dict (dict-like) – Mapping of current variable or coordinate names to the desired names, as passed from Dataset.rename_vars().

• dims_dict (dict-like) – Mapping of current dimension names to the desired names, as passed from Dataset.rename_dims().

Returns

renamed (Index) – Index with renamed attributes.
