"""
Create a grid file from table data.
Reads one or more tables with *x, y, z* columns and creates a binary grid file.
xyz2grd will report if some of the nodes are not filled in with data. Such
unconstrained nodes are set to a value specified by the user [Default is
NaN]. Nodes with more than one value will be set to the mean value.

Parameters
----------
data : str or {table-like}
Pass in (x, y, z) or (longitude, latitude, elevation) values by
providing a file name to an ASCII data table, a 2D {table-classes}.
x/y/z : 1d arrays
The arrays of x and y coordinates and z data points.
outgrid : str or None
Optional. The name of the output netCDF file with extension .nc to
store the grid in.
multiple_nodes : str
[**d**\|\ **f**\|\ **l**\|\ **m**\|\ **n**\|\
**r**\|\ **S**\|\ **s**\|\ **u**\|\ **z**]
By default we will calculate mean values if multiple entries fall on
the same node. Use **-A** to change this behavior, except it is
ignored if **-Z** is given. Append **f** or **s** to simply keep the
first or last data point that was assigned to each node. Append
**l** or **u** or **d** to find the lowest (minimum) or upper (maximum)
value or the difference between the maximum and miminum value
at each node, respectively. Append **m** or **r** or **S** to compute
mean or RMS value or standard deviation at each node, respectively.
Append **n** to simply count the number of data points that were
assigned to each node (this only requires two input columns *x* and
*y* as *z* is not consulted). Append **z** to sum multiple values that
belong to the same node.
{I}
{R}
{V}
convention : str
[*flags*]
Read a 1-column ASCII [or binary] table. This assumes that all the
nodes are present and sorted according to specified ordering
convention contained in *flags*. If incoming data represents rows,
make *flags* start with **T**\ (op) if first row is y
= ymax or **B**\ (ottom) if first row is y = ymin.
Then, append **L** or **R** to indicate that first element is at
left or right end of row. Likewise for column formats: start with
**L** or **R** to position first column, and then append **T** or
**B** to position first element in a row. **Note**: These two
row/column indicators are only required for grids; for other tables
they do not apply. For gridline registered grids: If data are periodic
in x but the incoming data do not contain the (redundant) column at
x = xmax, append **x**. For data periodic in y without redundant row at
y = ymax, append **y**. Append **s**\ *n* to skip the first *n* number
of bytes (probably a header). If the byte-order or the words needs
to be swapped, append **w**. Select one of several data types (all
binary except **a**):
- **A** ASCII representation of one or more floating point values per
record
- **a** ASCII representation of a single item per record
- **c** int8_t, signed 1-byte character
- **u** uint8_t, unsigned 1-byte character
- **h** int16_t, signed 2-byte integer
- **H** uint16_t, unsigned 2-byte integer
- **i** int32_t, signed 4-byte integer
- **I** uint32_t, unsigned 4-byte integer
- **l** int64_t, long (8-byte) integer
- **L** uint64_t, unsigned long (8-byte) integer
- **f** 4-byte floating point single precision
- **d** 8-byte floating point double precision
Default format is scanline orientation of ASCII numbers: **-ZTLa**.
The difference between **A** and **a** is that the latter can decode
both *date*\ **T**\ *clock* and *ddd:mm:ss[.xx]* formats but expects
each input record to have a single value, while the former can handle
multiple values per record but can only parse regular floating point
values. Translate incoming *z*-values via the **-i**\ 0 option and
needed modifiers.

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``)
