netcdf.inqDimIDs

Retrieve list of dimension identifiers in group

Syntax

dimIDs = netcdf.inqDimIDs(ncid)
dimIDs = netcdf.inqDimIDs(ncid,includeParents)


Description

dimIDs = netcdf.inqDimIDs(ncid) returns a list of dimension identifiers in the group specified by ncid.

dimIDs = netcdf.inqDimIDs(ncid,includeParents) includes all dimensions in all parent groups if includeParents is true.

Input Arguments

ncid	Identifier of a NetCDF file, returned by netcdf.create or netcdf.open, or of a NetCDF group, returned by netcdf.defGrp.
includeParents	Boolean value. If set to true, netcdf.inqDimIDs includes the dimensions of all parent groups. Default: false

Output Arguments

dimIDs

Array of dimension IDs

Examples

This example opens the NetCDF sample file and gets the IDs of all the dimensions.

 ncid = netcdf.open('example.nc','NOWRITE');
 gid = netcdf.inqNcid(ncid,'grid1');
 dimids = netcdf.inqDimIDs(gid);
 dimids_all = netcdf.inqDimIDS(gid, true);
 netcdf.close(ncid);
