readNetcdf

public void readNetcdf(String ncmlLocation,
              NetcdfDataset targetDS,
              NetcdfFile refds,
              org.jdom.Element netcdfElem,
              CancelTask cancelTask)
                throws IOException

parse a netcdf JDOM Element, and add contents to the targetDS NetcdfDataset.

This is a bit tricky, because it handles several cases When targetDS == refds, we are just modifying targetDS. When targetDS != refds, we keep them seperate, and copy from refds to newds.

The user may be defining new elements or modifying old ones. The only way to tell is by seeing if the elements already exist.

Parameters:

ncmlLocation - NcML URL location, or may be just a unique name for caching purposes.

targetDS - add the info to this one, never null

refds - the referenced dataset; may equal newds, never null

netcdfElem - JDOM netcdf element

cancelTask - allow user to cancel the task; may be null

Throws:

IOException - on read error

readAttributeValues

public static Array readAttributeValues(org.jdom.Element s)
                                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Parse the values element

Parameters:

s - JDOM element to parse

Returns:

Array with parsed values

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if string values not parsable to specified data type

writeNcMLToFile

public static void writeNcMLToFile(String ncmlLocation,
                   String fileOutName)
                            throws IOException

Read an NcML file and write an equivilent NetcdfFile to a physical file, using Netcdf-3 file format.

Parameters:

ncmlLocation - read this NcML file

fileOutName - write to this local file

Throws:

IOException - on write error

FileWriter.writeToFile(ucar.nc2.NetcdfFile, java.lang.String)

writeNcMLToFile

public static void writeNcMLToFile(InputStream ncml,
                   String fileOutName)
                            throws IOException

Read an NcML and write an equivilent NetcdfFile to a physical file, using Netcdf-3 file format. The NcML may have a referenced dataset in the location URL, in which case the underlying data (modified by the NcML is written to the new file. If the NcML does not have a referenced dataset, then the new file is filled with fill values, like ncgen.

Parameters:

ncml - read NcML from this input stream

fileOutName - write to this local file

Throws:

IOException - on error
