add

public VariableSimpleImpl add(Attribute att)

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: VariableSimpleIF

full, backslash escaped name of the data Variable

getShortName

public java.lang.String getShortName()

Description copied from interface: VariableSimpleIF

short name of the data Variable

Specified by:

getShortName in interface VariableSimpleIF

Returns:

short name of the data Variable

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: VariableSimpleIF

description of the Variable

Specified by:

getDescription in interface VariableSimpleIF

Returns:

description of the Variable, or null if none.

getUnitsString

public java.lang.String getUnitsString()

Description copied from interface: VariableSimpleIF

Units of the Variable. These should be udunits compatible if possible

Specified by:

getUnitsString in interface VariableSimpleIF

Returns:

Units of the Variable, or null if none.
