Functions

build_ind_val_matrices(unit_values[, …])	Builds indices and values matrices using given unit values for each dimension.
calc_chunks(dimensions, dtype_byte_size[, …])	Calculate the chunk size for the HDF5 dataset based on the dimensions and the maximum chunk size in memory
clean_string_att(att_val)	Replaces any unicode objects within lists with their string counterparts to ensure compatibility with python 3.
create_spec_inds_from_vals(ds_spec_val_mat)	Create new Spectroscopic Indices table from the changes in the Spectroscopic Values
get_aux_dset_slicing(dim_names[, last_ind, …])	Returns a dictionary of slice objects to help in creating region references in the position or spectroscopic indices and values datasets
get_slope(values[, tol])	Attempts to get the slope of the provided values.
make_indices_matrix(num_steps[, is_position])	Makes an ancillary indices matrix given the number of steps in each dimension.
to_ranges(iterable)	Converts a sequence of iterables to range tuples
validate_dimensions(dimensions[, dim_type])	Checks if the provided object is an iterable with pyUSID.Dimension objects.

Classes

DimType(value)	An enumeration.
Dimension(name, units, values[, quantity, …])	Simple object that describes a dimension in a dataset by its name, units, and values
