OK, let's go back to the drawing board.

Let ds = xr.Dataset({'foo': (('x', 'y'), [[1, 2], [3, 4]])}, {'x': [1, 2]}).

Current repr (v0.9.0): <xarray.Dataset> Dimensions: (x: 2, y: 2) Coordinates: * x (x) int64 1 2 Unindexed dimensions: y Data variables: foo (x, y) int64 1 2 3 4

Some alternatives:

  • Rename "Unindexed dimensions" to "Dimensions without coordinates". This is clearer but pretty verbose: ``` <xarray.Dataset> Dimensions: (x: 2, y: 2) Coordinates:

  • x (x) int64 1 2 Dimensions without coordinates: y Data variables: foo (x, y) int64 1 2 3 4 ```

  • Same as above, but with everything on one line (less obtrusive): ``` <xarray.Dataset> Dimensions: (x: 2, y: 2) Coordinates:

  • x (x) int64 1 2 Data variables: foo (x, y) int64 1 2 3 4 Dimensions without coordinates: y ```

  • Mark Dimensions with an index with * before there name. @crusaderky suggested this previously but I rejected it as ugly: ``` <xarray.Dataset> Dimensions: (*x: 2, y: 2) Coordinates:

  • x (x) int64 1 2 Data variables: foo (x, y) int64 1 2 3 4 ```

  • Use another marker character in Dimensions, maybe ' after dimension names for dimensions with indexes? ``` <xarray.Dataset> Dimensions: (x': 2, y: 2) Coordinates:

  • x (x) int64 1 2 Data variables: foo (x, y) int64 1 2 3 4 ```
