Cross-post the xvec blog post from Earthmover blog? #693
Description
Activity
I had suggested just making the last bit an Xvec example notebook.
Sure, but this is effectively an xarray integration feature announcement, and we have a pattern of posting content like that to the xarray blog (e.g. the pint-xarray stuff) - it would be nice to continue doing that too.
Oh I did not realize that we haven't had an xvec blogpost yet!
@martinfleis @benbovy : would you be OK with the cross-post here or would you prefer to add a separate post introducing Xvec.
Reacted by Tom NicholasOh I did not realize that we haven't had an xvec blogpost yet!
I don't think we have really had anything that shows off the flexible indexes stuff yet! (Only a mention of work in progess on @keewis ' work on the pint index in the pint-xarray blog post almost 2 years ago!).
so maybe it's time to finish that?
I think so, but I don't think we should wait to do that before cross-posting the xvec blog post on the xarray blog.
I'd be very happy to cross-post on the Xarray blog if folks are interested in that!
I have "write xvec blog post" on my to-do for over a year and it hasn't happened yet. It eventually will but it may be wiser to just use this one for xarray blog.
In that case I propose:
- @e-marshall copies over the post,
- we add @martinfleis and @benbovy as co-authors,
- @martinfleis and @benbovy make edits/changes.
- we merge and publish.
how does that sound?
It would make sense to add quite a bit more about Xvec too I think, with lots of links out to the docs on what you can do with it.
Reacted by Tom Nicholas and Martin FleischmannI can try to expand it to cover a bit more about Xvec.
I copied the blog post here, feel free to edit as needed and i'm happy to work on formatting/ wording changes as well
Reacted by Tom NicholasA bit more stuff added on top of @e-marshall's text in e-marshall#1.
I just saw the "Vector data cubes in xarray" blog post - awesome content!
Any chance this can be cross-posted to the xarray blog here too as a guest post? AFAIK most of the xvec development work was done independently of Earthmover, and this is certainly of interest to xarray users who don't use arraylake.
