nc.get.dim.bounds.var.list: Get a list of names of dimension bounds variables.

Description

Get a list of names of dimension bounds variables.

Usage

nc.get.dim.bounds.var.list(f, v = NULL)

Value

A character vector naming all of the dimension bounds variables found.

Arguments

f

The file (an object of class ncdf4).

v

The name of the variable (a string).

Details

Many dimension variables are not single points, but in fact represent a range along the axis. This is expressed by associated dimension bounds variables. This function returns the names of any dimension bounds variables found in a file.
