xarray.indexes.RangeIndex.linspace#

classmethod RangeIndex.linspace(start, stop, num=50, endpoint=True, *, coord_name=None, dim, dtype=None)[source]#

Create a new RangeIndex from given start / stop values and number of values.

Parameters:

  • start (float) – Start of interval. The interval includes this value.

  • stop (float, optional) – End of interval. The interval includes this value if endpoint=True.

  • num (float, optional) – Number of values in the interval, i.e., dimension size (default: 50).

  • endpoint (bool, optional) – If True (default), the stop value is included in the interval.

  • coord_name (Hashable, optional) – Name of the (lazy) coordinate variable that will be created and associated with the new index. If None, the coordinate is named as the dimension name.

  • dim (str) – Dimension name.

  • dtype (dtype, optional) – The dtype of the coordinate variable (default: float64).

Examples

>>> from xarray.indexes import RangeIndex

>>> index = RangeIndex.linspace(0.0, 1.0, 5, dim="x")
>>> ds = xr.Dataset(coords=xr.Coordinates.from_xindex(index))

>>> ds
