Hello, support team, I want to create objects like Structure and Sequence during creating my netCDF file. I use netCDF Java API and I can't understand how can I do this. Would you be so kind to show me a couple of examples of creating simple Structure and Sequence using Java API?
Hi Serg, heres a recent response to the same question:The netCDF 3 file format doesn't support structures so you can't currently create/write structures. (You should be able to once netCDF 4 comes out.) What you can do structure-wise with netCDF 3 fils is think of all the variables that use the record (unlimited) dimension as a structure. The creation (in the netCDF-java object model, not on file) of a "record" structure variable is what the addRecordStructure() method does. So, to use structures in netCDF 3 files, you need to write the files with an unlimited dimension and when you read the files use the addRecordStructure().
Here is a recently (or soon to be) released document on structures in netCDF 3 files:

Hope this helps.
