Elegant way to create empty daru DataFrame with nil

I need to create an empty DataFrame with an specific shape for example [10,10] to store data from other source.

In pandas is straightforward:

pd.DataFrame(np.nan, index=range(10), columns=range(10))

But in ruby using daru, I'm not sure how to do that.

You can pass the names of the vectors in the :order option and a range as an index in the :index option. The input will be an empty Array.

For example:

require 'daru'
df = Daru::DataFrame.new([], order: (1..4).to_a, index:(0..10).to_a)
# => 
#<Daru::DataFrame:72941700 @name = 2357edc1-f425-4ae3-aead-5a8b812ecb13 @size = 11>
#                    1          2          3          4 
#         0        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#         1        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#         2        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#         3        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#         4        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#         5        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#         6        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#         7        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#         8        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#         9        nil        nil        nil        nil 
#        10        nil        nil        nil        nil
