Package ucar.nc2.write

Class NetcdfFormatWriter

java.lang.Object
ucar.nc2.write.NetcdfFormatWriter
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable
public class NetcdfFormatWriter extends Object implements Closeable
Writes Netcdf 3 or 4 formatted files to disk. Note that there is no redefine mode. Once you call build(), you cannot add new metadata, you can only write data. 
 NetcdfFormatWriter.Builder writerb = NetcdfFormatWriter.createNewNetcdf3(testFile.getPath());
 writerb.addDimension(Dimension.builder().setName("vdim").setIsUnlimited(true).build());
 writerb.addVariable("v", DataType.BYTE, "vdim");
 try (NetcdfFormatWriter writer = writerb.build()) {
   writer.write("v", dataArray);
 }

      Create a new Netcdf3 file.
      Parameters:
      location - name of new file to open; if it exists, will overwrite it.
      Returns:
      new NetcdfFormatWriter

      Create a new Netcdf4 file.
      Parameters:
      format - One of the netcdf-4 NetcdfFileFormat.
      location - name of new file to open; if it exists, will overwrite it.
