> Hi, > > Does netcdf4 support n-dimensional attribute values? Only for n=1. Attributes can be a vector of values of any type (inlcuding user-defined types like compound types and vlens). This is more restrictive than HDF5, where attributes can be multidimensional for n>1, which makes them not much different from variables/datasets. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: JHS-804544 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
