public interface CoordSysBuilderIF

Implement this interface to add Coordinate Systems to a NetcdfDataset.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	addUserAdvice(java.lang.String advice) Give advice for a user trying to figure out why things arent working
void	augmentDataset(NetcdfDataset ncDataset, CancelTask cancelTask) Make changes to the dataset that are needed before processing scale/offset in NetcdfDataset.
void	buildCoordinateSystems(NetcdfDataset ncDataset) Create the coordinate system objects: coordinate axes, coordinate systems, coordinate transforms.
java.lang.String	getConventionUsed() Get the name of the Convention.
java.lang.String	getParseInfo() Detailed information when the coordinate systems were parsed
java.lang.String	getUserAdvice() Specific advice to a user about problems with the coordinate information in the file.
void	setConventionUsed(java.lang.String convName) Pass in the name of the Convention used to locate this CoordSysBuilderIF.

Method Detail

setConventionUsed

void setConventionUsed(java.lang.String convName)

Pass in the name of the Convention used to locate this CoordSysBuilderIF.

Parameters:

convName - the name of the Convention

getConventionUsed

java.lang.String getConventionUsed()

Get the name of the Convention. In the case where the Convention attribute is not set in the file, this name cannot be used to identify the Convention. The isMine() method is called instead.

Returns:

Convention name

getParseInfo

java.lang.String getParseInfo()

Detailed information when the coordinate systems were parsed

Returns:

String containing parsing info

getUserAdvice

java.lang.String getUserAdvice()

Specific advice to a user about problems with the coordinate information in the file.

Returns:

String containing advice to a user about problems with the coordinate information in the file.

augmentDataset

void augmentDataset(NetcdfDataset ncDataset,
                    CancelTask cancelTask)
             throws java.io.IOException

Make changes to the dataset that are needed before processing scale/offset in NetcdfDataset.

Parameters:

ncDataset - modify this dataset

cancelTask - give user a chance to bail out

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on error

buildCoordinateSystems

void buildCoordinateSystems(NetcdfDataset ncDataset)

Create the coordinate system objects: coordinate axes, coordinate systems, coordinate transforms.

Parameters:

ncDataset - add to this dataset

addUserAdvice

void addUserAdvice(java.lang.String advice)

Give advice for a user trying to figure out why things arent working

Parameters:

advice - add this advice to the User Advice String
