For a given dataset, all bands have to be of same dimensions in order to be treated as a single dataset, and not a number of different datasets.
This is documented in the GDAL data model page, right on top [1]. "A dataset (represented by the GDALDataset<http://www.gdal.org/classGDALDataset.html> class) is an assembly of related raster bands and some information common to them all. In particular the dataset has a concept of the raster size (in pixels and lines) that applies to all the bands. The dataset is also responsible for the georeferencing transform and coordinate system definition of all bands." [1] http://www.gdal.org/gdal_datamodel.html I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "In the creation of a NetCDF I treat subsets as bands.". Is this file myfile.nc created by gdal? If the above explanation is not satisfactory, please provide the exact steps you are doing. cheers, Etienne On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 1:05 PM, Benedetta Onori <[email protected]>wrote: > In the creation of a NetCDF I treat subsets as bands. > with gdalinfo I get this: > > Subdatasets: > SUBDATASET_1_NAME=NETCDF:"myfile.nc":Band1 > SUBDATASET_1_DESC=[10000x1] Band1 (64-bit floating-point) > SUBDATASET_2_NAME=NETCDF:"myfile.nc":Band2 > SUBDATASET_2_DESC=[10000x1] Band2 (64-bit floating-point) > SUBDATASET_3_NAME=NETCDF:"myfile.nc":Band3 > SUBDATASET_3_DESC=[10000x1] Band3 (64-bit floating-point) > SUBDATASET_4_NAME=NETCDF:"myfile.nc":Band4 > SUBDATASET_4_DESC=[10000x1] Band4 (64-bit floating-point) > <[email protected]> > So it recognizes bands as netcdf subsets, but with Create( ) only one > size for all bands is possible and not different sizes for different > bands-subsets. > > > > 2014-02-06 Etienne Tourigny <[email protected]>: > > What do you mean by subsets?
