obspy.core.event.catalog.Catalog.copy

Catalog.copy()[source]

Returns a deepcopy of the Catalog object.

Return type:Catalog
Returns:Copy of current catalog.

Examples

  1. Create a Catalog and copy it

    >>> from obspy.core.event import read_events
>>> cat = read_events()
>>> cat2 = cat.copy()

    The two objects are not the same:

    >>> cat is cat2
False

    But they have equal data:

    >>> cat == cat2
True

  2. The following example shows how to make an alias but not copy the data. Any changes on cat3 would also change the contents of cat.

    >>> cat3 = cat
>>> cat is cat3
True
>>> cat == cat3
True
