7.5. tables.NetCDF file structure

A tables.NetCDF file consists of array objects (either EArrays or CArrays) located in the root group of a pytables hdf5 file. Each of the array objects must have a dimensions attribute, consisting of a tuple of dimension names (the length of this tuple should be the same as the rank of the array object). Any array objects with one of the supported datatypes in a pytables file that conforms to this simple structure can be read with the tables.NetCDF module.
