Using an existing dataset
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

::

   import icartt

   # load a new dataset from an existing file
   ict = icartt.Dataset('path/to/example.ict')

   # list variable names
   ict.varnames
   # e.g. ['Fractional_Day', 'UTC', 'JDAY', 'INDEX', 'FLIGHT', 'LOCAL_SUN_TIME', ...

   # get data for variable 'UTC':
   ict['UTC']

   # some metadata
   ict.organization
   ict.dataSource
   ict.mission

   # add data, depending of format and type of variable:
      - file type 1001, add value of independent variable:
      ivar.append(234.4)

      - file type 1001, add value of dependent variable:
      ivar.append(234.4, 18.2)

      
      - file type 2110, add value of independent (unbounded) variable:
      ivar.append(234.4)

      - file type 2110, add value of independent (bounded) variable:
      ivar.append(234.4, 9148.2)

      - file type 2110, add value of dependent variable:
      ivar.append(234.4, 9148.2, 34.2)

   # write to (other) file:
   with open('path/to/output.ict', 'wb') as f:
      ict.write(f)

# Let's check:

ict.write()

# Seems to have worked!

# 2) as dictionary (single data line)

ict.data.add( **{ 'Time_Start': 12.6, 'Time_Stop': 13.1, 'Payload': 324235644.1e5 } )

# (note, we are merely exploding the dictionary to resemble method 1)

# 3) as NumPy array (bulk)

# Note: you are responsible to ensure that the order of elements in a data line
# corresponds to variable listing below:
print( [ x for x in ict.variables ] )

# Note: for single lines, you still need to make it an array!
data = np.array( [ (15.4, 15.0, 52452495290e5) ] )
