netcdf.setFill - Set netCDF fill mode
Syntax
old_mode = netcdf.setFill(ncid,new_mode)
Description
old_mode = netcdf.setFill(ncid,new_mode) sets
the fill mode for a netCDF file identified by ncid.
new_mode can be either 'FILL' or 'NOFILL' or
their numeric equivalents, as retrieved by netcdf.getConstant.
The default mode is 'FILL'. netCDF pre-fills data
with fill values. Specifying 'NOFILL' can be used
to enhance performance, because it avoids the duplicate writes that
occur when the netCDF writes fill values that are later overwritten
with data.
This function corresponds to the nc_set_fill 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 example creates a new file and specifies the fill mode
used by netCDF with the file.
ncid = netcdf.open('foo.nc','NC_WRITE');
% Set filling behavior
old_mode = netcdf.setFill(ncid,'NC_NOFILL');See Also
