Interface MultiArray

All Superinterfaces:

Accessor, MultiArrayInfo

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArrayMultiArray, MultiArrayImpl, MultiArrayProxy, ScalarMultiArray, StringCharAdapter, Variable

public interface MultiArray

extends MultiArrayInfo, Accessor

Interface for multidimensional arrays. Includes introspection by extending MultiArrayInfo and data access by extending Accessor.

These are more general and abstract than Netcdf Variables. Netcdf Variables implement this, but more general objects, such as java arrays, can be simply wrapped to provide this interface.
