Member Enumeration Documentation

enum netCDF::NcType::ncType

List of netCDF types that can be represented.

The enumeration list contains the complete set of netCDF variable types. In addition, the type NC_TYPE is included. This enables the user to instantiate a netCDF type object without explcitly needing to know it precise type.

Enumerator
nc_BYTE	signed 1 byte integer
nc_CHAR	ISO/ASCII character.
nc_SHORT	signed 2 byte integer
nc_INT	signed 4 byte integer
nc_FLOAT	single precision floating point number
nc_DOUBLE	double precision floating point number
nc_UBYTE	unsigned 1 byte int
nc_USHORT	unsigned 2-byte int
nc_UINT	unsigned 4-byte int
nc_INT64	signed 8-byte int
nc_UINT64	unsigned 8-byte int
nc_STRING	string
nc_VLEN	"NcVlen type"
nc_OPAQUE	"NcOpaque type"
nc_ENUM	"NcEnum type"
nc_COMPOUND	"NcCompound type"

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NcType::NcType ( )

Constructor generates a null object.

Definition at line 44 of file ncType.cpp.

netCDF::NcType::NcType	(	const netCDF::NcGroup &	grp,
		const std::string &	name
	)

Constructor for a non-global type.

This object describes the "essential" information for all netCDF types required by NcVar, NcAtt objects. New netCDF types can be added using the appropriate "add" method in the NcGroup object.

Parameters

grp	Parent NcGroup object.
name	Name of this type.

NcType::NcType	(	const netCDF::NcGroup &	grp,
		nc_type	id
	)

Constructor for a non-global type.

This object describes the "essential" information for all netCDF types required by NcVar, NcAtt objects. New netCDF types can be added using the appropriate "add" method in the NcGroup object.

Parameters

grp	Parent NcGroup object.
id	type id

Definition at line 66 of file ncType.cpp.

NcType::NcType ( nc_type id )

Constructor for a global type This object describes the "essential" information for a netCDF global type.

Parameters

id type id

Definition at line 58 of file ncType.cpp.

NcType::NcType ( const NcType & rhs )

The copy constructor.

Member Function Documentation

nc_type netCDF::NcType::getId ( ) const

inline

The netCDF Id of this type.

Definition at line 88 of file ncType.h.

string NcType::getName ( ) const

The name of this type.

For atomic types, the CDL type names are returned. These are as follows:

NcByte String returned is "byte".
NcUbyte String returned is "ubyte".
NcChar String returned is "char".
NcShort String returned is "short".
NcUshort String returned is "ushort".
NcInt String returned is "int".
NcUint String returned is "uint".
NcInt64 String returned is "int64".
NcUint64 String returned is "uint64".
NcFloat String returned is "float".
NcDouble String returned is "double".
NcString String returned is "string".

Definition at line 94 of file ncType.cpp.

NcGroup NcType::getParentGroup ( ) const

Gets parent group.

For an atomic type, returns a Null object.

Definition at line 89 of file ncType.cpp.

size_t NcType::getSize ( ) const

The size in bytes.

This function will work on any type, including atomic and any user defined type, whether compound, opaque, enumeration, or variable length array.

Definition at line 108 of file ncType.cpp.

NcType::ncType NcType::getTypeClass ( ) const

The type class returned as enumeration type.

Valid for all types, whether atomic or user-defined. User-defined types are returned as one of the following enumeration types: nc_VLEN, nc_OPAQUE, nc_ENUM, or nc_COMPOUND.

Definition at line 116 of file ncType.cpp.

string NcType::getTypeClassName ( ) const

Return a string containing the name of the enumerated type.

(ie one of the following strings: "nc_BYTE", "nc_CHAR", "nc_SHORT", "nc_INT", "nc_FLOAT", "nc_DOUBLE", "nc_UBYTE", "nc_USHORT", "nc_UINT", "nc_INT64", "nc_UINT64", "nc_STRING", "nc_VLEN", "nc_OPAQUE", "nc_ENUM", "nc_COMPOUND"

Definition at line 144 of file ncType.cpp.

bool netCDF::NcType::isNull ( ) const

inline

Returns true if this object is null (i.e.

it has no contents); otherwise returns false.

Definition at line 133 of file ncType.h.
