Builder

public Builder()

Method Details

setLocation

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setLocation(String location)

The file locatipn

setIosp

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setIosp(IOServiceProvider iosp)

getIosp

public IOServiceProvider getIosp()

setFormat

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setFormat(NetcdfFileFormat format)

Set the format version. Only needed when its a new file. Default is NetcdfFileFormat.NETCDF3

getFormat

public NetcdfFileFormat getFormat()

setNewFile

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setNewFile(boolean newFile)

True if its a new file, false if its an existing file. Default true.

setFill

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setFill(boolean fill)

Set the fill flag. Only used by netcdf-3. If true, the data is first written with fill values. Default is fill = true, to follow the C library. Set false if you expect to write all data values, which makes writing faster. Set true if you want to be sure that unwritten data values are set to the fill value.

setExtraHeader

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setExtraHeader(int extraHeaderBytes)

Set extra bytes to reserve in the header. Only used by netcdf-3. This can prevent rewriting the entire file on redefine.

Parameters:

extraHeaderBytes - # bytes extra for the header

setPreallocateSize

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setPreallocateSize(long preallocateSize)

Preallocate the file size, for efficiency. Only used by netcdf-3.

setChunker

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setChunker(Nc4Chunking chunker)

Nc4Chunking, used only for netcdf4

setUseJna

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setUseJna(boolean useJna)

Set if you want to use JNA / netcdf c library to do the writing. Default is false.

addAttribute

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder addAttribute(Attribute att)

Add a global attribute

addDimension

public Dimension addDimension(String dimName,
 int length)

Add a dimension to the root group.

addDimension

public Dimension addDimension(Dimension dim)

Add a dimension to the root group.

addUnlimitedDimension

public Dimension addUnlimitedDimension(String dimName)

Add an unlimited dimension to the root group.

getRootGroup

public Group.Builder getRootGroup()

Get the root group

setRootGroup

public NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder setRootGroup(Group.Builder rootGroup)

Set the root group. This allows all metadata to be built externally.

addVariable

public Variable.Builder addVariable(String shortName,
 DataType dataType,
 String dimString)

Add a Variable to the root group.

addVariable

public Variable.Builder addVariable(String shortName,
 DataType dataType,
 List<Dimension> dims)

Add a Variable to the root group.

addStructure

public Structure.Builder addStructure(String shortName,
 String dimString)

Add a Structure to the root group.

calcSize

public long calcSize()

build

public NetcdfFormatWriter build()
                         throws IOException

Once this is called, do not use the Builder again.

Throws:

IOException
