# MetaData

class scipy.io.arff.MetaData(rel, attr)

  Small container to keep useful information on an ARFF dataset.

  Knows about attributes names and types.

  Parameters:
    rel str

      Name of the relation.

    attr list of Attribute

      Attributes of the dataset.

  Methods

  `names`() | Return the list of attribute names.
  `types`() | Return the list of attribute types.

  Notes

  Also maintains the list of attributes in order, i.e., doing for i in meta, where meta is an instance of MetaData, will return the different attribute names in the order they were defined.

  Examples

      data, meta = loadarff('iris.arff')
      # This will print the attributes names of the iris.arff dataset
      for i in meta:
          print(i)
      # This works too
      meta.names()
      # Getting attribute type
      types = meta.types()
