Groups and New Atomic Types in NetCDF-4
The enhanced netCDF-4 model allows the use of groups to organize data, and introduces some new atomic types. |
| 22.1 |
What are Groups?
NetCDF-4 files can organize variables, dimensions, and attributes in hierarchical groups. |
| 22.2 |
Using Groups
This example, from libsrc4/tst_grps.c, shows how groups may be nested. |
| 22.3 |
CDL Example of Groups
This CDL example shows a possible use of groups. |
| 22.4 |
Possible Uses for Groups
Some possible uses for groups are suggested. |
| 22.5 |
Using Groups in Fortran 77
This example, from nf_test/ftst_groups.F, shows how groups may be created in Fortran 77. |
| 22.6 |
Using Groups in Fortran 77 (continued)
Creating a group and learning about groups with the Fortran 77 API. |
| 22.7 |
Strings
The String type can replace character arrays for most purposes. |
| 22.8 |
Example Creating an Array of Strings
This example writes an array of strings as an attribute. |
| 22.9 |
Example Reading an Array of Strings
This code reads the example string attribute. |
| 22.10 |
Additional Numeric Types
New primitive types include 64-bit integers and unsigned integer types. |
| 22.11 |
Additional Numeric Types
This Fortran 90 example (from nf_test/tst_types2.f90) shows arrays of INT64 type. |
