Group
Group(self, parent, name)
Groups define a hierarchical namespace within a netCDF file. They are analagous to directories in a unix filesystem. Each Group behaves like a Dataset within a Dataset, and can contain it's own variables, dimensions and attributes (and other Groups).
Group instances should be created using the createGroup method of a Dataset instance, or another Group instance, not using this class directly.
Parameters:
parent - Group instance for the parent group. If being created
in the root group, use a Dataset instance.
name - Name of the group.
Returns:
a Group instance. All further operations on the netCDF Group are accomplished via Group instance methods.
Group inherits
from Dataset, so
all the Dataset
class methods and variables are available to a Group instance (except
the close method).
