Description
Some kwarg
names are not allowed in a summary
reduction and produce an xarray
error when trying to convert to a Dataset
. Example:
import datashader as ds
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
x = np.arange(2)
df = pd.DataFrame(dict(
y_from = [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0],
y_to = [0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.5],
))
canvas = ds.Canvas(plot_height=7, plot_width=7)
agg = canvas.line(source=df, x=x, y=["y_from", "y_to"], axis=1, agg=ds.summary(x=ds.count()))
Error produced is
xarray.core.variable.MissingDimensionsError: 'x' has more than 1-dimension and the same name as one of its dimensions ('y', 'x'). xarray disallows such variables because they conflict with the coordinates used to label dimensions.
We should check before the calculations are performed if there is a kwarg
name that is problematic and give a better error message. Invalid names are x
and y
, also n
if using a *_n
reduction, also the name of any categorical column used in a by
reduction.
