## Create a new NetCDF dataset and define two dimensions
nc <- create.nc("foo.nc")
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", "missing_value", "NC_DOUBLE", -99999.9)
att.put.nc(nc, "NC_GLOBAL", "title", "NC_CHAR", "Data from Foo")
## Delete these attributes
att.delete.nc(nc, "temperature", "missing_value")
att.delete.nc(nc, "NC_GLOBAL", "title")
close.nc(nc)
