Package ucar.nc2.ft Description

DEPRECATED API - THIS AND ALL SUBPACKAGES WILL BE REPLACED:  Scientific feature types package

These are interfaces that define access to specialized "scientific feature" datasets. There are three types of interfaces:

1. FeatureType: atomic type usually defined by its dimensionality and topology.
2. Collection: a homogeneous collection of atomic types, specifying the nature of the collection.
3. Dataset: one or more Collections of a particular FeatureType, with dataset metadata.

A FeatureDataset and VariableSimpleIF are lightweight abstractions of NetcdfDataset and Variable, which allows implementations that are not necessarily based on NetcdfDataset objects.
