This module can read and +write files in both the new netCDF 4 and the old netCDF 3 format, and +can create files that are readable by HDF5 clients. The API modelled +after Scientific.IO.NetCDF, and should be familiar to users of that +module. + +Most new features of netCDF 4 are implemented, such as multiple +unlimited dimensions, groups and data compression. All the new numeric +data types (such as 64 bit and unsigned integer types) are implemented. +Compound (struct), variable length (vlen) and enumerated (enum) data +types are supported, but not the opaque data type. Mixtures of compound, +vlen and enum data types (such as compound types containing enums, or +vlens containing compound types) are not supported. + |
