xarray.DataArray.sel¶

DataArray.sel(indexers: Mapping[Hashable, Any] = None, method: str = None, tolerance=None, drop: bool = False, **indexers_kwargs) → xarray.core.dataarray.DataArray¶

Return a new DataArray whose data is given by selecting index labels along the specified dimension(s).

Warning

Do not try to assign values when using any of the indexing methods isel or sel:

da = xr.DataArray([0, 1, 2, 3], dims=['x'])
# DO NOT do this
da.isel(x=[0, 1, 2])[1] = -1

Assigning values with the chained indexing using .sel or .isel fails silently.
