cdflib.getVarPadValue

Pad value for variable

Syntax

padvalue = cdflib.getVarPadValue(cdfId,varNum)

Description

padvalue = cdflib.getVarPadValue(cdfId,varNum) returns the pad value used with a variable in a Common Data Format (CDF) file.

cdfId identifies the CDF file. varNum is a numeric value that identifies the variable. Variable numbers are zero-based.

Examples

Open the example CDF, and then determine the pad value for a variable:

cdfId = cdflib.open("example.cdf");

% Check pad value of variable in the file
padval = cdflib.getVarPadValue(cdfId,0)
padval =

     0
% Clean up
cdflib.close(cdfId)
clear cdfId

This function corresponds to the CDF library C API routine CDFgetzVarPadValue.

To use this function, you must be familiar with the CDF C interface. You can access the CDF documentation at the CDF website.
