Class NcDim

A netCDF dimension has a name and a size. Dimensions are only created and destroyed by NcFile member functions, because they cannot exist independently of an open netCDF file. Hence there are no public constructors or destructors.

Public Member Functions

NcToken name( void ) const

Returns the name of the dimension if it exists, 0 otherwise.

long size( void ) const

Returns the dimension size.

NcBool is_valid( void ) const

Returns TRUE if file and dimension are both valid, FALSE otherwise.

NcBool is_unlimited( void ) const

Returns TRUE if the dimension is the unlimited dimension, FALSE if either not a valid netCDF file, or if the dimension is not the unlimited dimension.

NcBool rename( NcToken newname )

Renames the dimension to newname.

NcBool sync( void )

If the dimension may have been renamed, make sure its name is updated.
