How do you grid data based on three different arrays?












0














I have three arrays. Time, height, and then my values at each time and height. It is a large dataset and when I try to do np.meshgrid() I get a memory error. When I plot it using plt.pcolormesh it plots perfectly.



For example, if I have an array of heights:



 [[-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2],
[-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]]


An array of times:



 [[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2],
[3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3]]


And then my data:



 [[22, 10, 5, NaN, 3, 7],
[4, 2, 9, -3, 4, 1],
[7, 5, 2, -1, 4, 2]]


How do I get a grid that looks something like this:



   -3  -2  -1   0   1   2   3   4   5   6
1 22 10 5 NaN 3 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN
2 NaN NaN 4 2 9 -3 4 1 NaN NaN
3 NaN NaN NaN NaN 7 5 2 -1 4 2


I was then planning on making a Pandas DataFrame out of the data and using it for data analysis.

          Go ahead and make your DataFrame and then just print it



          df = pd.DataFrame()
          df.columns = set(times)
          df.index = set(heights)
          for t, h, d in zip(times, heights, data):
          df[t].loc[h] = data
          print(df)
