If set to false (thedefault), cdfread stores the data in an m-by- n cellarray, where m is the number of records and n isthe number of variables requested. Note: For better performance when reading large data sets,set this parameter to true.Ī Boolean value that determines how cdfread returnsthe CDF data sets read from the file.
Note: Because the 'Slices' parameterdescribes how to process a single variable, it must be used in conjunctionwith the 'Variables' parameter.Ī Boolean value that determines whether cdfread automaticallyconverts CDF epoch data types to MATLAB ® serial date numbers.If set to false (the default), cdfread wrapsepoch values in MATLAB cdfepoch objects. m mustbe less than or equal to the number of dimensions of the variable.If m is less than the total number of dimensions, cdfread readsevery value from the unspecified dimensions ( ,where n is the total number of elements in thedimension. cdfread returnsa cell array with the same number of columns as the number of variablesread, and a row for each record read.Īn m-by-3 array, where each row specifieswhere to start reading along a particular dimension of a variable,the skip interval to use on that dimension (every item, every otheritem, etc.), and the total number of values to read on that dimension. n mustbe less than or equal to the total number of variables in the file. cdfread returns a cell array with thesame number of rows as the number of records read and as many columnsas there are variables.Ī 1-by- n or n-by-1 cellarray specifying the names of the variables to read from the file. ParameterĪ vector specifying which records to read. = cdfread( filename.) returns details about the CDF file in the info structure.
