@djhoese you're right, I thought it was better to do all the internal refactoring first but we maybe shouldn't wait too long before updating `set_index` and the `DataArray` / `Dataset`...

@djhoese not yet but hopefully soon! Most of the work on explicit indexes is currently happening in #5692, which once merged (probably after the next release) will provide all the...

lng/lat order is now used in geometry creation functions added in #51.

> @benbovy, do you know if there is a way to make xarray only sample neighborhoods around points? Or is this behavior unique to rioxarray? This seems to be handled...

Is it (already) recommended for 3rd-party backend array classes to migrate to `.oindex` and `.vindex`?

Yes I agree we can easily detect when such case happens.

Yes an Xarray version of that visualization seems like a good idea IMO, without replacing the original one as I think that for Xarray container objects we should keep showing...

Thanks for the summary @christophenoel. Implementation-wise in the Python/Xarray ecosystem there is good progress on supporting this model: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/9543, https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/10076, https://github.com/corteva/rioxarray/pull/846, https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/10055. > To support multidimensional data (3D+), the CF...

`Index.compute()` might be a possible alternative to `Index.load()` #6837.

`Index.load()` has different semantics than `Dataset.load()`: it returns an index object that will replace the existing index when calling `Dataset.load()`. The returned index may be `self` (just propagate the index),...
