Class Hierarchy

• object: The most base type
  • netCDF4._netCDF4.CompoundType: A `netCDF4.CompoundType` instance is used to describe a compound data type, and can be passed to the the `netCDF4.Dataset.createVariable` method of a `netCDF4.Dataset` or `netCDF4.Group` instance.
  • netCDF4._netCDF4.Dataset: A netCDF `netCDF4.Dataset` is a collection of dimensions, groups, variables and attributes.
    • netCDF4._netCDF4.Group: Groups define a hierarchical namespace within a netCDF file.
    • netCDF4._netCDF4.MFDataset: Class for reading multi-file netCDF Datasets, making variables spanning multiple files appear as if they were in one file.
  • netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension: A netCDF `netCDF4.Dimension` is used to describe the coordinates of a `netCDF4.Variable`.
  • netCDF4._netCDF4.VLType: A `netCDF4.VLType` instance is used to describe a variable length (VLEN) data type, and can be passed to the the `netCDF4.Dataset.createVariable` method of a `netCDF4.Dataset` or `netCDF4.Group` instance.
  • netCDF4._netCDF4.Variable: A netCDF `netCDF4.Variable` is used to read and write netCDF data.
  • netCDF4._netCDF4._Dimension
  • netCDF4._netCDF4._Variable
    • netCDF4._netCDF4.MFTime: Class providing an interface to a MFDataset time Variable by imposing a unique common time unit to all files.
  • basestring: Type basestring cannot be instantiated; it is the base for str and unicode.
    • str: str(object='') -> string
