xarray.Variable.copy

Variable.copy(deep=True, data=None)

If deep=True, the data array is loaded into memory and copied onto the new object. Dimensions, attributes and encodings are always copied.

Parameters:

• deep (bool, default: True) – Whether the data array is loaded into memory and copied onto the new object. Default is True.

• data (array_like, optional) – Data to use in the new object. Must have same shape as original. When data is used, deep is ignored.

Returns:

object (NamedArray) – New object with dimensions, attributes, and optionally data copied from original.
