Method Detail

makeCoordinateTransform

CoordinateTransform makeCoordinateTransform(NetcdfDataset ds,
                                            Variable ctv)

Make a CoordinateTransform from a Coordinate Transform Variable.

Parameters:

ds - the containing dataset

ctv - the coordinate transform variable.

Returns:

CoordinateTransform

makeMathTransform

VerticalTransform makeMathTransform(NetcdfDataset ds,
                                    Dimension timeDim,
                                    VerticalCT vCT)

Make a VerticalTransform. Only implement if you are a TransformType.Vertical. We need to defer making the transform until we've identified the time coordinate dimension.

Parameters:

ds - the dataset

timeDim - the time dimension

vCT - the vertical coordinate transform

Returns:

ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical.VerticalTransform math transform

getTransformName

java.lang.String getTransformName()

Get the Transform name. Typically this is matched on by an attribute in the dataset.

Returns:

name of the transform.

getTransformType

TransformType getTransformType()

Get the Transform Type : Vertical or Projection

Returns:

type of trrasnform

setErrorBuffer

void setErrorBuffer(java.util.Formatter sb)

Pass in a Formatter where error messages can be appended.

Parameters:

sb - use this Formatter to record parse and error info
