Filter a grid file by dividing the filter circle.
Filter a grid file in the space (or time) domain by
dividing the given filter circle into *n\_sectors*, applying one of the
selected primary convolution or non-convolution filters to each sector,
and choosing the final outcome according to the selected secondary
filter. It computes distances using Cartesian or Spherical geometries.
The output *.nc* file can optionally be generated as a subregion of the
input and/or with a new **-I**\ ncrement. In this way, one may have
"extra space" in the input data so that there will be no edge effects
for the output grid. If the filter is low-pass, then the output may be
less frequently sampled than the input. The **-Q** option is for the
error analysis mode and expects the input file to contains the filtered
depths. Finally, one should know that **dimfilter** will not produce a
smooth output as other spatial filters
do because it returns a minimum median out of *N* medians of *N*
sectors. The output can be rough unless the input data is noise-free.
Thus, an additional filtering (e.g., Gaussian via :doc:`grdfilter`) of the
DiM-filtered data is generally recommended.

Parameters
----------
grid : str or xarray.DataArray
The file name of the input grid or the grid loaded as a DataArray.
outgrid : str or None
The name of the output netCDF file with extension .nc to store the grid
in.
Distance *flag* determines how grid (x,y) relates to filter *width*, as follows:
distance : int or str
Distance flag tells how grid (x,y) relates to filter width, as follows:
**0**\ : grid (x,y) in same units as *width*, Cartesian distances.
**1**\ : grid (x,y) in degrees, *width* in kilometers, Cartesian distances.
**2**\ : grid (x,y) in degrees, *width* in km, dx scaled by
cos(middle y), Cartesian distances.
The above options are fastest because they allow weight matrix to be
computed only once. The next two options are slower because they
recompute weights for each latitude.
**3**\ : grid (x,y) in degrees, *width* in km, dx scaled by
cosine(y), Cartesian distance calculation.
**4**\ : grid (x,y) in degrees, *width* in km, Spherical distance
calculation.
filter : str
**x**\ *width*\ [**+l**\|\ **u**]
Sets the primary filter type. Choose among convolution and
non-convolution filters. Append the filter code **x** followed by the full
diameter *width*. Available convolution filters are:
(**b**) Boxcar: All weights are equal.
(**c**) Cosine Arch: Weights follow a cosine arch curve.
(**g**) Gaussian: Weights are given by the Gaussian function.
Non-convolution filters are:
(**m**) Median: Returns median value.
(**p**) Maximum likelihood probability (a mode estimator): Return
modal value. If more than one mode is found we return their average
value. Append **+l** or **+h** to the filter width if you rather want to
return the smallest or largest of each sector's modal values.**x**\ *sectors*\ [**+l**\|\ **u**]
sectors : str
**x**\ *sectors*\ [**+l**\|\ **u**]
Sets the secondary filter type **x** and the number of bow-tie sectors.
*sectors* must be integer and larger than 0. When *sectors* is
set to 1, the secondary filter is not effective. Available secondary
filters **x** are:
(**l**) Lower: Return the minimum of all filtered values.
(**u**) Upper: Return the maximum of all filtered values.
(**a**) Average: Return the mean of all filtered values.
(**m**) Median: Return the median of all filtered values.
(**p**) Mode: Return the mode of all filtered values:
If more than one mode is found we return their average
value. Append **+l** or **+h** to the sectors if you rather want to
return the smallest or largest of the modal values.**x**\ *sectors*\ [**+l**\|\ **u**]
Sets the secondary filter type **x** and the number of bow-tie sectors.
*sectors* must be integer and larger than 0. When *sectors* is
set to 1, the secondary filter is not effective. Available secondary
filters **x** are:
(**l**) Lower: Return the minimum of all filtered values.
(**u**) Upper: Return the maximum of all filtered values.
(**a**) Average: Return the mean of all filtered values.
(**m**) Median: Return the median of all filtered values.
(**p**) Mode: Return the mode of all filtered values:
If more than one mode is found we return their average
value. Append **+l** or **+h** to the sectors if you rather want to
return the smallest or largest of the modal values.

Returns
-------
ret: xarray.DataArray or None
Return type depends on whether the ``outgrid`` parameter is set:
- :class:`xarray.DataArray` if ``outgrid`` is not set
- None if ``outgrid`` is set (grid output will be stored in file set by
``outgrid``)
