| 13 |  |    @defgroup dimensions Dimensions | 
| 14 |  |  | 
| 15 |  |    Dimensions are used to define the shape of data in netCDF. | 
| 16 |  |  | 
| 17 |  |    Dimensions for a netCDF dataset are defined when it is created, | 
| 18 |  |    while the netCDF dataset is in define mode. Additional dimensions | 
| 19 |  |    may be added later by reentering define mode. A netCDF dimension | 
| 20 |  |    has a name and a length. In a netCDF classic or 64-bit offset file, | 
| 21 |  |    at most one dimension can have the unlimited length, which means | 
| 22 |  |    variables using this dimension can grow along this dimension. In a | 
| 23 |  |    netCDF-4 file multiple unlimited dimensions are supported. | 
| 24 |  |  | 
| 25 |  |    There is a suggested limit (1024) to the number of dimensions that | 
| 26 |  |    can be defined in a single netCDF dataset. The limit is the value | 
| 27 |  |    of the predefined macro ::NC_MAX_DIMS. The purpose of the limit is | 
| 28 |  |    to make writing generic applications simpler. They need only | 
| 29 |  |    provide an array of ::NC_MAX_DIMS dimensions to handle any netCDF | 
| 30 |  |    dataset. The implementation of the netCDF library does not enforce | 
| 31 |  |    this advisory maximum, so it is possible to use more dimensions, if | 
| 32 |  |    necessary, but netCDF utilities that assume the advisory maximums | 
| 33 |  |    may not be able to handle the resulting netCDF datasets. | 
| 34 |  |  | 
| 35 |  |    ::NC_MAX_VAR_DIMS, which must not exceed ::NC_MAX_DIMS, is the | 
| 36 |  |    maximum number of dimensions that can be used to specify the shape | 
| 37 |  |    of a single variable. It is also intended to simplify writing | 
| 38 |  |    generic applications. | 
| 39 |  |  | 
| 40 |  |    Ordinarily, the name and length of a dimension are fixed when the | 
| 41 |  |    dimension is first defined. The name may be changed later, but the | 
| 42 |  |    length of a dimension (other than the unlimited dimension) cannot | 
| 43 |  |    be changed without copying all the data to a new netCDF dataset | 
| 44 |  |    with a redefined dimension length. | 
| 45 |  |  | 
| 46 |  |    Dimension lengths in the C interface are type size_t rather than | 
| 47 |  |    type int to make it possible to access all the data in a netCDF | 
| 48 |  |    dataset on a platform that only supports a 16-bit int data type, | 
| 49 |  |    for example MSDOS. If dimension lengths were type int instead, it | 
| 50 |  |    would not be possible to access data from variables with a | 
| 51 |  |    dimension length greater than a 16-bit int can accommodate. | 
| 52 |  |  | 
| 53 |  |    A netCDF dimension in an open netCDF dataset is referred to by a | 
| 54 |  |    small integer called a dimension ID. In the C interface, dimension | 
| 55 |  |    IDs are 0, 1, 2, ..., in the order in which the dimensions were | 
| 56 |  |    defined. | 
| 57 |  |  | 
| 58 |  |    Operations supported on dimensions are: | 
| 59 |  |    - Create a dimension, given its name and length. | 
| 60 |  |    - Get a dimension ID from its name. | 
| 61 |  |    - Get a dimension's name and length from its ID. | 
| 62 |  |    - Rename a dimension. |
