2 Basic Usage Overview

The toolkit provides high and level functionality for reading and writing NetCDF format files.

2.1 High level functionality

The toolkit provides the following high level functions:

  • nccreate
  • ncdisp
  • ncinfo
  • ncreadatt
  • ncread
  • ncwriteatt
  • ncwrite
  • ncwriteschema

2.2 Low level functionality

The package aims to implement the netcdf interface of MATLAB in GNU Octave, however GNU Octave does not support the import function.

Functions can be used in netcdf_functionname format, or an emulated import can be done using the import_netcdf script so that functions can be used in netcdf.functionname format.
