netcdf.renameDim - Change name of netCDF dimension
Syntax
netcdf.renameDim(ncid,dimid,newName)
Description
netcdf.renameDim(ncid,dimid,newName) renames
the dimension identified by the dimension identifier, dimid.
newName is a character string specifying
the new name. ncid is a netCDF file identifier
returned by netcdf.create or netcdf.open
This function corresponds to the nc_rename_dim function
in the netCDF library C API. To use this function, you should be familiar
with the information about netCDF contained in the NetCDF
C Interface Guide for version 3.6.2.
Examples
This examples modifies a local copy of the example netCDF file
included with MATLAB, example.nc.
% Open netCDF file.
ncid = netcdf.open('my_example.nc','NC_WRITE')
% Put file is define mode.
netcdf.reDef(ncid)
% Get the identifer of a dimension to rename.
dimid = netcdf.inqDimID(ncid,'x');
% Rename the dimension.
netcdf.renameDim(ncid,dimid,'Xdim')
% Verify that the name changed.
data = netcdf.inqDim(ncid,dimid)
data =
Xdim
