cdflib.getMajority

Majority of variables

Syntax

majority = cdflib.getMajority(cdfId)

majority = cdflib.getMajority(cdfId) returns the majority of variables in a Common Data Format (CDF) file.

cdfId

Identifier of a CDF file, returned by a call to cdflib.create or cdflib.open.

majority

One of the following character vectors or its numeric equivalent.

`'ROW_MAJOR'`	C-like array ordering for variable storage. The first dimension in each variable array varies the slowest. This is the default.
`'COLUMN_MAJOR'`	Fortran-like array ordering for variable storage. The first dimension in each variable array varies the fastest.

To get the numeric equivalent of the constants specified by these character vectors, use cdflib.getConstantValue.

Open the example CDF file, and then determine the majority of variables in the file:

cdfId = cdflib.open('example.cdf');

majority = cdflib.getMajority(cdfId)

majority =

ROW_MAJOR

% Clean up
cdflib.close(cdfId)

This function corresponds to the CDF library C API routine CDFgetMajority.

To use this function, you must be familiar with the CDF C interface. Read the CDF documentation at the CDF website.
