matlab.io.hdf4.sd.nameToIndices

Package: matlab.io.hdf4.sd

List of data sets with same name

Syntax

varstruct = nameToIndices(sdID,sdsname)

varstruct = nameToIndices(sdID,sdsname) returns a structure array for all data sets with the same name. Each element of varstruct has two fields.

`'index'`	Index of data set
`'type'`	Type of data set, either `'SDSVAR'`, `'COORDVAR'`, or `'UNKNOWN'`

This function corresponds to the SDnametoindices function in the HDF library C API.

import matlab.io.hdf4.*
sdID = sd.start('sd.hdf');
varlist = sd.nameToIndices(sdID,'latitude');
sd.close(sdID);
