metobs_toolkit.gap.Gap.flag_can_be_filled

Gap.flag_can_be_filled(overwrite: bool = False) → bool

Determine if the gap can be filled.

By default, a gap can be filled if it is not already filled or if the previous gapfill method failed for the gap. A gap that is already filled can only be updated if the overwrite flag is set to True.

Parameters:

overwrite (bool, optional) – If True, allows filling regardless of the current fill status. Default is False.

Returns:

True if the gap can be filled, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool
