WrightTools.data.Data.chop

Data.chop(*args, at=None, parent=None, verbose=True) Collection[source]

Divide the dataset into its lower-dimensionality components.

Parameters:
  • axis (str or int (args)) – Axes of the returned data objects. Strings refer to the names of axes in this object, integers refer to their index. Provide multiple axes to return multidimensional data objects.

  • at (dict (optional)) – Choice of position along an axis. Keys are axis names, values are lists [position, input units]. If exact position does not exist, the closest valid position is used.

  • parent (WrightTools Collection instance (optional)) – Collection to place the new “chop” collection within. Default is None (new parent).

  • verbose (bool (optional)) – Toggle talkback. Default is True.

Returns:

Collection of chopped data objects.

Return type:

WrightTools Collection

Examples

>>> data.axis_names
['d2', 'w1', 'w2']

Get all w1 wigners.

>>> datas = data.chop('d2', 'w1')
>>> len(datas)
51

Get 2D frequency at d2=0 fs.

>>> datas = data.chop('w1', 'w2', at={'d2': [0, 'fs']})
>>> len(datas)
0
>>> datas[0].axis_names
['w1', 'w2']
>>> datas[0].d2[:]
0.
