Columns with different data types?

Open swilson314 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I just want to verify ... it appears from the documentation that xframe variables must have the same data type in all columns, unlike a pandas dataframe?

xframe will provide two kinds of objects: xvariables, which are N-D generalization of pandas columns (they are similar to xarray.DataArray), where the data type is the same for all elements, and xframe objects, a N-D generalization of pandas dataframe (they are similar to xarray.DataSet) where you can mix variables with different data types.

For now only the xvariable object has been implemented.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification!
