Put open netCDF file into define mode
netcdf.reDef(ncid)
netcdf.reDef(ncid) puts an open netCDF
file into define mode so that dimensions, variables, and attributes
can be added or renamed. Attributes can also be deleted in define
mode. ncid is a valid NetCDF file ID, returned
from a previous call to netcdf.open or netcdf.create.
This function corresponds to the nc_redef function in the netCDF library C
API. To use this function, you should be familiar with the netCDF programming
paradigm.
This example opens a local copy of the example netCDF file included
with MATLAB®, example.nc.
% Open a netCDF file.
ncid = netcdf.open('my_example.nc','NC_WRITE')
% Try to define a dimension.
dimid = netcdf.defdim(ncid, 'lat', 50); % should fail.
??? Error using ==> netcdflib

dimid = netcdflib('def_dim', ncid,dimname,dimlen);
% Put file in define mode.
netcdf.reDef(ncid);
% Try to define a dimension again. Should succeed.
dimid = netcdf.defDim(ncid, 'lat', 50);
