Component

class glue.core.component.Component(data, units=None)

Bases: object

Stores the actual, numerical information for a particular quantity

Data objects hold one or more components, accessed via ComponentIDs. All Components in a data set must have the same shape and number of dimensions

Parameters

datandarray

The data to store.

unitsstr, optional

Unit label.

Notes

Instead of instantiating Components directly, consider using Component.autotyped(), which chooses a subclass most appropriate for the data type.

Attributes Summary

categorical	Whether or not the datatype is categorical.
data	The underlying ndarray
datetime	Whether or not or not the datatype is a date/time
ndim	The number of dimensions
numeric	Whether or not the datatype is numeric.
shape	Tuple of array dimensions
units

Methods Summary

autotyped(data[, units])	Automatically choose between Component and CategoricalComponent, based on the input data type.
jitter([method])
to_series(**kwargs)	Convert into a pandas.Series object.
