AbstractCoordTransBuilder

public AbstractCoordTransBuilder()

Method Detail

setErrorBuffer

public void setErrorBuffer(java.lang.StringBuffer errBuffer)

Description copied from interface: CoordTransBuilderIF

Pass in a StringBuffer where error messages can be appended.

Specified by:

setErrorBuffer in interface CoordTransBuilderIF

makeMathTransform

public VerticalTransform makeMathTransform(NetcdfDataset ds,
                                           Dimension timeDim,
                                           VerticalCT vCT)

Description copied from interface: CoordTransBuilderIF

Make a VerticalTransform. Only implement if you are a TransformType.Vertical. We need to defer making the transform until we've identified the time coordinate dimension.

Specified by:

makeMathTransform in interface CoordTransBuilderIF

Parameters:

ds - the dataset

timeDim - the time dimension

vCT - the vertical coordinate transform

Returns:

ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical.VerticalTransform math transform

readAttributeDouble

protected double readAttributeDouble(Variable v,
                                     java.lang.String attname)

Read a variable attribute as a double.

Parameters:

v - the variable

attname - name of variable

Returns:

attribute value as a double

readAttributeDouble2

protected double[] readAttributeDouble2(Attribute att)

Read an attribute as double[2]. If only one value, make second same as first.

Parameters:

att - the attribute. May be numeric or String.

Returns:

attribute value as a double[2]

addParameter

protected boolean addParameter(CoordinateTransform rs,
                               java.lang.String paramName,
                               NetcdfFile ds,
                               java.lang.String varName)

Add a Parameter to a CoordinateTransform. Make sure that variable exist. If readData is true, read the data and use it as the value of the parameter, otherwise use the variable name as the value of the parameter.

Parameters:

rs - the CoordinateTransform

paramName - the parameter name

ds - dataset

varName - variable name

Returns:

true if success, false is failed

getFormula

protected java.lang.String getFormula(NetcdfDataset ds,
                                      Variable ctv)

getUnits

protected java.lang.String getUnits(NetcdfDataset ds)
