The class for netCDF file objects is NcFile
.
The components of a netCDF file are dimensions, variables, and
attributes. There is a class for each of these kinds of objects;
NcDim
, NcVar
, and NcAtt
. Variables and attributes
share some common characteristics that are factored out in the
abstract base class NcTypedComponent
.
An auxiliary class, NcValues
, provides a type for arrays of values
that are read from or written to netCDF files. Another auxiliary class,
NcError
, provides rudimentary facilities for handling errors.
