matlab.io.hdfeos.sw.periodInfo

Namespace: matlab.io.hdfeos.sw

Information about subsetted period

Syntax

[datatype,dims] = periodInfo(swathID,periodID,fieldname)

Description

[datatype,dims] = periodInfo(swathID,periodID,fieldname) retrieves information about the period defined for the given field. datatype is the data type of the field. dims is the dimensions of the subsetted region.

This function corresponds to the SWperiodinfo function in the HDF-EOS library C API, but because MATLAB® uses FORTRAN-style ordering, the dims parameter is reversed with respect to the C library API.

Examples

import matlab.io.hdfeos.*
swfid = sw.open('swath.hdf');
swathID = sw.attach(swfid,'Example Swath');
starttime =  25;
stoptime = 425;
periodID = sw.defTimePeriod(swathID,starttime,stoptime,'MIDPOINT');
[ntype,dims] = sw.periodInfo(swathID,periodID,'Temperature');
sw.detach(swathID);
sw.close(swfid);
