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

Notes

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

Parameters

• data (numpy.ndarray) – The data to store

• units (str) – Optional unit label

Attributes Summary

categorical	Whether or not the datatype is categorical
data	The underlying numpy.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.
