## Create a new NetCDF dataset and define two dimensions
file1 <- tempfile("file.inq_", fileext=".nc")
nc <- create.nc(file1)
dim.def.nc(nc, "station", 5)
dim.def.nc(nc, "time", unlim=TRUE)
## Create two variables, one as coordinate variable
var.def.nc(nc, "time", "NC_INT", "time")
var.def.nc(nc, "temperature", "NC_DOUBLE", c(0,1))
## Put some attributes
att.put.nc(nc, "temperature", "_FillValue", "NC_DOUBLE", -99999.9)
att.put.nc(nc, "temperature", "long_name", "NC_CHAR", "air temperature")
att.put.nc(nc, "NC_GLOBAL", "title", "NC_CHAR", "Data from Foo")
att.put.nc(nc, "NC_GLOBAL", "history", "NC_CHAR", paste("Created on", date()))
