Detailed Description
A base class used to derive NetcdfAttribute and NetcdfVariable.Do not use the NetcdfTypedComponent class directly. Use one of its subclasses NetcdfAttribute or NetcdfVariable. The owner object will create and initialize them as needed.
Member Function Documentation
| - (size_t) countData |
Returns the number of data elements in object.
This value is fixed by the netCDF file structure in the case of attributes or ordinary variables. Variables with an unlimited dimension can have their size changed.
In NetcdfVariable, this is overridden to recompute the value at every invocation. The ivar countData is a cached copy and becomes stale if the unlimited dimension changes size.
| - (nc_type) ncType |
data type as defined in netCDF.
Defined data types are: NC_BYTE, NC_CHAR, NC_SHORT, NC_INT, NC_FLOAT, and NC_DOUBLE. (As of netCDF 3.6.2 there is no support for 64-bit long-long int.)
| - (NSMutableDictionary *) schema |
structure of object; re-implemented in the subclasses
key: "name" value: NSString attribute/variable name
key: "type" value: NSNumber attribute/variable data type (nc_type)
Reimplemented in NetcdfAttribute, and NetcdfVariable.
