makeGroup: Create a group in memory to hold CF objects

In ncdfCF: Easy Access to NetCDF Files with CF Metadata Conventions

Create a group in memory to hold CF objects

Description

With this function a group is created in memory, i.e. not associated with a netCDF resource on file. This can be used to prepare new CF objects before writing them to file. Extracting data from a CFVariable into a CFArray instance will also create a virtual group.

Usage

makeGroup(id = -1L, name = "/", fullname = "/", parent = NULL)

Arguments

id	The id of the group, default -1L.
name	The name of the group, default "/".
fullname	The full path and name of the group, default "/".
parent	Optionally, a parent group to which the new group will be added as a child.

Value

A NCGroup instance.
