---

Method new()

Create a new instance of this class.

Creating a new latitude axis is more easily done with the makeLatitudeAxis() function.

Usage

CFAxisLatitude$new(nc_var, nc_dim, values)

Arguments

nc_var

The netCDF variable that describes this instance.

nc_dim

The netCDF dimension that describes the dimensionality.

values

The coordinates of this axis.

---

Method subset()

Return an axis spanning a smaller coordinate range. This method returns an axis which spans the range of indices given by the rng argument.

Usage

CFAxisLatitude$subset(group, rng = NULL)

Arguments

group

The group to create the new axis in.

rng

The range of values from this axis to include in the returned axis.

Returns

A CFAxisLatitude instance covering the indicated range of indices. If the value of the argument is NULL, return the entire axis.

---

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

CFAxisLatitude$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
