obspy.core.stream.Stream.copy

Stream.copy()

Return a deepcopy of the Stream object.

Return type:

Stream

Returns:

Copy of current stream.

Examples

1. Create a Stream and copy it

   >>> from obspy import read
   >>> st = read()
   >>> st2 = st.copy()
   

   The two objects are not the same:

   >>> st is st2
   False
   

   But they have equal data (before applying further processing):

   >>> st == st2
   True
   

2. The following example shows how to make an alias but not copy the data. Any changes on st3 would also change the contents of st.

   >>> st3 = st
   >>> st is st3
   True
   >>> st == st3
   True
