$Name$ After unpacking the netcdf toolbox, you should adjust your matlab path as follows. addpath /path/to/wherever/you/installed/this/netcdf addpath /path/to/wherever/you/installed/this/netcdf/nctype addpath /path/to/wherever/you/installed/this/netcdf/ncutility or if on Windows, addpath C:\path\to\wherever\you\installed\this\netcdf addpath C:\gpath\to\wherever\you\installed\this\netcdf\nctype addpath C:\path\to\wherever\you\installed\this\netcdf\ncutility It could reside on another drive as well. And remember to remove any previous version of the netcdf toolbox from your path as well. Windows Users Take Note: ======================================================================== The "netcdf.dll" should be somewhere on your windows system path, BUT NOT on your matlab path. If you type >> which ( 'netcdf', '-all' ); from the matlab command line, you should only see one m-file, and you shouldn't see the DLL at atll. AUTOSCALING ======================================================================== If you wish to automatically scale your data and have fill values replaced by NaNs, you should define a global structure called "nctbx_options" as follows: >> global nctbx_options; >> nctbx_options.theAutoscale = 1; >> nctbx_options.theAutoNaN = 1; You can place this code in your startup.m if you don't want to continually have to do this upon starting matlab.
