Method Detail

isMine

boolean isMine(FeatureType wantFeatureType,
               NetcdfDataset ds)
               throws IOException

Determine if this is a dataset that can be opened as a point obs dataset.

Parameters:

wantFeatureType - want this FeatureType

ds - for this dataset

Returns:

true if it can be opened as a wantFeatureType dataset

Throws:

IOException - on read error

getConfig

TableConfig getConfig(FeatureType wantFeatureType,
                      NetcdfDataset ds,
                      Formatter errlog)
                      throws IOException

Create a TableConfig for this dataset.

Parameters:

wantFeatureType - want this FeatureType

ds - for this dataset, which has already passed isMine() test

errlog - put error messages here, may be null.

Returns:

TableConfig for this dataset

Throws:

IOException - on read error
