addDataIdValue¶
- lsst.daf.butler.tests.addDataIdValue(butler: Butler, dimension: str, value: Any, **related: Any)¶
Add a new data ID to a repository.
Related dimensions (e.g., the instrument associated with a detector) may be specified using
related. While these keywords are sometimes needed to get self-consistent repositories, you do not need to define relationships you do not use. Any unspecified dimensions will be linked arbitrarily.- Parameters:
- butler
lsst.daf.butler.Butler The repository to update.
- dimension
str The name of the dimension to gain a new value.
- value
The value to register for the dimension.
- **related
Any existing dimensions to be linked to
value.
- butler
Notes
Because this function creates filler data, it is only suitable for test repositories. It should not be used for repositories intended for real data processing or analysis, which have known dimension values.
