Help add_nc
Add a variable to a NetCDF archive file.
Syntax
add_nc(fname,X) %Matlab & Octave add_nc(file,X,vname=substitute(X)) #R
Description
If the archive file does not exist, it is created. The file is assumed to be in the current working directory unless a pathname is added to the beginning of fname.Add one tag sensor or metadata variable to a NetCDF archive file.If the archive file does not exist, it is created. The file is assumed to be in the current working directory unless a pathname is added to the beginning of fname.
Inputs
| Input var | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| fname | is the name of the metadata file. If the name does not include a .nc suffix, this will be added automatically. | N/A |
| X | is a sensor or metadata structure. Only these kind of variables can be saved in a NetCDF file because the supporting information in these structures is needed to describe the contents of the file. For non-archive and non-portable storage of variables, consider using the usual 'save' function in Matlab and Octave. | N/A |
| vname (#R) | The name of the sensor data stream to be saved. Defaults to the name of the sensor or metadata list provided by the user (but an option to specify a name is provided to faciliate calling this function from save_nc. | substitute(X) |
Example
Matlab & Octave
add_nc('dog17_124a',A)
%generates a file dog17_124a.nc and adds a variable A.
R
add_nc('dog17_124a',A)
#generates a file dog17_124a.nc (if it does not already exist) and adds a variable A.
