Imports data from an CDF file.

Syntax

#include <dx/dx.h>

Object DXImportCDF(char *filename, char **variable, int *start, int
*end, int *delta)

Functional Details

Imports data from a CDF (Common Data Format) filename. If variable is specified, only fields matching the list in variable are imported. If variable is NULL, all fields are read in and placed in a group. If the CDF contains records, then a series is imported and start, end, and delta can be used to specify which records are imported.

For additional information on the CDF file format, see Appendix B. "Importing Data: File Formats" in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's Guide.

Return Value

Returns a pointer to the Object or returns NULL and sets an error code.
