imod.util.empty_3d

imod.util.empty_3d(dx: Union[float, ndarray], xmin: float, xmax: float, dy: Union[float, ndarray], ymin: float, ymax: float, layer: Union[int, Sequence[int], ndarray]) → DataArray

Create an empty 2D (x, y) DataArray.

dx and dy may be provided as:

• scalar: for equidistant spacing

• array: for non-equidistant spacing

Note that xarray (and netCDF4) uses midpoint coordinates. xmin and xmax are used to generate the appropriate midpoints.

Parameters

• dx (float, 1d array of floats) – cell size along x

• xmin (float) –

• xmax (float) –

• dy (float, 1d array of floats) – cell size along y

• ymin (float) –

• ymax (float) –

• layer (int, sequence of integers, 1d array of integers) –

Returns

empty – Filled with NaN.

Return type

xr.DataArray
