The NetCDF-Java Library is a Java interface to NetCDF files,
as well as to many other types of scientific data formats.
package ucar.nc2.dt : Scientific Datatypes
Scientific data types package. The Point types have been superceded by the classes in package ucar.nc2.ft.
These are interfaces that define access to specialized "scientific datatype" datasets. There are three types of interfaces:
- Datatype: atomic datatype usually defined by its dimensionality and topology.
- Collection: a homogenous collection of atomic types, specifying the nature of the collection.
- Dataset: usually a Collection of a particular Datatype.
A TypedDataset and TypedVariable are lightweight abstractions of NetcdfDataset and Variable, which allows implementations that are not necessarily based on NetcdfDataset objects.
