Hi,
I'm new in netcdf Java and I'm wondering if it's possible to change the
netcdf header without changing the data. I've tried to do that but it
doesn't work (v2.2.10 API):
-------------------------------------
import java.io.*;
import ucar.ma2.*;
import ucar.nc2.*;
public class test2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String filename="/home/netcdf/foo.nc";
try {
//Load netcdf:
NetcdfFileWriteable ncfile=new NetcdfFileWriteable(filename);
//Modify a netcdf variable (lattitude): from float datatype to
double datatype
Variable varLat=ncfile.findVariable("lat");
varLat.setDataType(DataType.DOUBLE);//lat from float to double
//ncfile.create(); -> doesn't work
//Close:
ncfile.flush();
ncfile.close();
} catch (IOException ioe){
ioe.printStackTrace();
System.err.println("ERROR creating file");
}
-------------------------------------
I think that I'm missing a method that actally writes the changes to the
nc file but I don't know wich is it. I've tried ncfile.create() but I've
got "not in define mode".
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks in advance,
Roger Olivella
