netcdf.defVarFill - Define fill parameters for NetCDF variable

Syntax

Description

netcdf.defVarFill(ncid,varid,noFillMode,fillValue) sets the fill parameters for the NetCDF variable identified by varid. ncid specifies the location.

For netCDF-4 files, you can only specify fill values when the NetCDF is in definition mode (before calling netcdf.endDef). For NetCDF files in classic and 64-bit offset modes, you can turn no-fill mode on and off at any time.

Input Arguments

Examples

This example creates a NetCDF file and defines a fill value for a variable.

ncid = netcdf.create('myfile.nc','NETCDF4');
dimid = netcdf.defDim(ncid,'latitude',180);
varid = netcdf.defVar(ncid,'latitude','double',dimid);
netcdf.defVarFill(ncid,varid,false,-999);
netcdf.close(ncid);
