octcdf, a netcdf toolbox for octave

[Alexander]

Hi all,
I have written a toolbox, octcdf,  for reading and creating netcdf files from
octave. The toolbox uses the same syntax than the matlab toolbox of Charles R.
Denham (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/staffpages/cdenham/public_html/). But 
unlike
the matlab toolbox, octcdf is not based on a mexcdf (or mexnc) gateway. The 
octcdf
toolbox is written in C++ calling directly the netcdf library. It uses an 
operator
syntax (subsref and subsasgn) to manipulate netcdf dimensions, variables and
attributes. A minimal example for using octcdf would be:

% create a netcdf file
nc = netcdf('example.nc','c');    
% define netcdf dimension "dim" of length 4
nc('dim') = 4;
% define a netcdf variable "var" of type double
nc{'var'} = ncdouble('dim');
% store [1 2 3 4] in netcdf variable var
nc{'var'}(:) = [1 2 3 4];
% close netcdf file
ncclose(nc);

Any suggestions or comments are of course very appreciated. You can download the
toolbox at: http://ocgmod1.marine.usf.edu/octcdf/

Cheers,

Alexander
