This example is an unrealistically simple netCDF file, to demonstrate the minimum operation of the netCDF APIs. Users should seek to make their netCDF files more self-describing than this primitive example.
As in all the netCDF tutorial examples, this example file is created by C, Fortran 77, Fortran 90, and C++ programs, and by ncgen, which creates it from a CDL script. All examples create identical files, “simple_xy.nc.”
The programs that create this sample file all have the base name “simple_xy_wr”, with different extensions depending on the language.
Therefore the example files that create simple_xy.nc can be found in: C/simple_xy_wr.c, F77/simple_xy_wr.f, F90/simple_xy_wr.f90, CXX/simple_xy_wr.cpp, and CDL/simple_xy_wr.cdl.
Corresponding read programs (C/simple_xy_rd.c, etc.) read the simple_xy.nc data file, and ensure that it contains the correct values.
The simple_xy.nc data file contains two dimensions, “x” and “y”, and one netCDF variable, “data.”
The utility ncdump can be used to show the contents of netCDF files. By default, ncdump shows the CDL description of the file. This CDL description can be fed into ncgen to create the data file.
The CDL for this example is shown below. For more information on ncdump and ncgen see NetCDF Utilities (The NetCDF Users Guide).

x = 6 ;
