For reference, I got the name "DataArray" from this Wes McKinney blog post: http://wesmckinney.com/blog/?p=77

I will add a pull-request with this name change, perhaps along with the focus -> name change. For now, it will include DatasetArray = DataArray to make the change backwards compatible.

It would also be nice to be create to a DataArray (including both dimensions and coordinate values) from scratch without making a Dataset first. Ideally, we could just write

python DataArray(data, x=np.arange(5), y=np.arange(10))

but unfortunately Python doesn't support inferring the order of keyword arguments.

Some options (not necessarily mutually exclusive), in descending (ascending) order of their machine (human) friendliness:

python DataArray(data, [('x', np.arange(5)), ('y', np.arange(10))]) DataArray(data, ['x', 'y'], [np.arange(5), np.arange(10)]) DataArray(data, 'x', np.arange(5), 'y', np.arange(10))
