r"""
Block average (x,y,z) data tables by mean or median estimation.
Reads arbitrarily located (x,y,z) triples [or optionally weighted
quadruples (x,y,z,w)] from a table and writes to the output a mean or
median (depending on ``block_method``) position and value for every
non-empty block in a grid region defined by the ``region`` and ``spacing``
parameters.
Parameters
----------
block_method : str
Name of the GMT module to call. Must be "blockmean" or "blockmedian".
Returns
-------
output : pandas.DataFrame or None
Return type depends on whether the ``outfile`` parameter is set:
- :class:`pandas.DataFrame` table with (x, y, z) columns if ``outfile``
is not set
- None if ``outfile`` is set (filtered output will be stored in file
set by ``outfile``)

Parameters
----------
table : 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
Arrays of x and y coordinates and values z of the data points.
{I}
{R}
outfile : str
The file name for the output ASCII file.

{a}
{i}
{f}
{r}
Returns
-------

- :class:`pandas.DataFrame` table with (x, y, z) columns if ``outfile``
is not set.
- None if ``outfile`` is set (filtered output will be stored in file
set by ``outfile``).
