------------------- An emoji 😁 example ------------------- Let's make use of what we learned so far and create a simple 1D{1} dataset. To make it interesting, let's create an emoji dataset. Start by importing the `csdmpy` package. .. doctest:: >>> import csdmpy as cp Create a labeled dimension. Here, we make use of python dictionary. .. doctest:: >>> x = dict(type="labeled", labels=["🍈", "🍉", "🍋", "🍌", "🥑", "🍍"]) The above python dictionary contains two keys. The `type` key identifies the dimension as a labeled dimension while the `labels` key holds an array of labels. In this example, the labels are emojis. Add this dictionary to the list of dimensions. Next, create a dependent variable. Similarly, set up a python dictionary corresponding to the dependent variable object. .. doctest:: >>> y = dict( ... type="internal", ... numeric_type="float32", ... quantity_type="scalar", ... components=[[0.5, 0.25, 1, 2, 1, 0.25]], ... ) Here, the python dictionary contains `type`, `numeric_type`, and `components` key. The value of the `components` key holds an array of data values corresponding to the labels from the labeled dimension. Create a csdm object from the dimensions and dependent variables and we have a 😂 dataset... .. doctest:: >>> fun_data = cp.CSDM( ... dimensions=[x], dependent_variables=[y], description="An emoji dataset" ... ) >>> print(fun_data.data_structure) { "csdm": { "version": "1.0", "description": "An emoji dataset", "dimensions": [ { "type": "labeled", "labels": [ "🍈", "🍉", "🍋", "🍌", "🥑", "🍍" ] } ], "dependent_variables": [ { "type": "internal", "numeric_type": "float32", "quantity_type": "scalar", "components": [ [ "0.5, 0.25, ..., 1.0, 0.25" ] ] } ] } } To serialize this file, use the :meth:`~csdmpy.CSDM.save` method of the `fun_data` instance as .. doctest:: >>> fun_data.dependent_variables[0].encoding = "base64" >>> fun_data.save("my_file.csdf") In the above code, the components from the :attr:`~csdmpy.CSDM.dependent_variables` attribute at index zero, are encoded as `base64` strings before serializing to the `my_file.csdf` file. You may also save the components as a binary file, in which case, the file is serialized with a `.csdfe` file extension. .. doctest:: >>> fun_data.dependent_variables[0].encoding = "raw" >>> fun_data.save("my_file_raw.csdfe") .. testcleanup:: import os os.remove("my_file.csdf") os.remove("my_file_raw.csdfe") os.remove("my_file_raw_0.dat")
