package ucar.nc2.ft : Scientific Feature Types
Scientific feature types package
These are interfaces that define access to specialized "scientific feature" datasets. There are three types of interfaces:
- FeatureType: atomic type usually defined by its dimensionality and topology.
- Collection: a homogenous collection of atomic types, specifying the nature of the collection.
- Dataset: one or more Collections of a particular FeatureType, with dataset metadata.
A FeatureDataset and VariableSimpleIF are lightweight abstractions of NetcdfDataset and Variable, which allows implementations that are not necessarily based on NetcdfDataset objects.
