Examples

>>> # axes
>>> a, b = Axis("a=a0..a2"), Axis("b=b0..b2")    # doctest: +SKIP
>>> # groups
>>> a01 = a['a0,a1'] >> 'a01'                    # doctest: +SKIP
>>> # arrays
>>> arr1, arr2 = ndtest((a, b)), ndtest(a)       # doctest: +SKIP
>>> s = Session([('a', a), ('b', b), ('a01', a01), ('arr1', arr1), ('arr2', arr2)])  # doctest: +SKIP
>>> # metadata
>>> s.meta.title = 'my title'                    # doctest: +SKIP
>>> s.meta.author = 'John Smith'                 # doctest: +SKIP

Save all arrays

>>> s.to_pickle('output.pkl')  # doctest: +SKIP

Save only some objects

>>> s.to_pickle('output.pkl', ['a', 'b', 'arr1'])  # doctest: +SKIP
