pandas.DataFrame.to_xarray¶

DataFrame.to_xarray()[source]¶

Return an xarray object from the pandas object.

Returns:

xarray.DataArray or xarray.Dataset: Data in the pandas structure converted to Dataset if the object is a DataFrame, or a DataArray if the object is a Series.

See also

DataFrame.to_hdf: Write DataFrame to an HDF5 file.
DataFrame.to_parquet: Write a DataFrame to the binary parquet format.

Notes

See the xarray docs
