It'd help if I actually attached the file! Take 2... Matt Foster wrote:
I'm a serious Java newbie, so be gentle if I've done something stupid here...I wrote the attached short program, which is based off of a post to this list last year, to read a single element from a netCDF file, and write a GeoTIFF file, however, I get the following error message when I try to compile it with javac...GeoTifWriter.java:16: cannot resolve symbolsymbol : method writeGrid (java.lang.String,java.lang.String,int,int,boolean)location: class ucar.nc2.geotiff.GeotiffWriterwriter.writeGrid("/home/mwfoster/MaxT_test.cdf", "MaxT_SFC", 0, 0, false);^The "caret" symbol is actually under the dot between writer and writeGrid, in case a variable-width font messed that up.Can someone help me out here?
