nc.get.dim.bounds.var.list: Get a list of names of dimension bounds variables.

In ncdf4.helpers: Helper Functions for Use with the 'ncdf4' Package

Description

Get a list of names of dimension bounds variables.

Usage

nc.get.dim.bounds.var.list(f, v = NULL)

Arguments

f	The file (an object of class ncdf4).
v	The name of the variable (a string).

Details

Many dimension variables are not single points, but in fact represent a range along the axis. This is expressed by associated dimension bounds variables. This function returns the names of any dimension bounds variables found in a file.

Value

A character vector naming all of the dimension bounds variables found.
