cf.Count.nc_clear_sample_dimension_groups

Count.nc_clear_sample_dimension_groups()

Remove the netCDF sample dimension group hierarchy.

The group hierarchy is defined by the netCDF name. Groups are delimited by / (slash) characters in the netCDF name. The groups are returned, in hierarchical order, as a sequence of strings. If the name is not set, or contains no / characters then an empty sequence is returned, signifying the root group.

An alternative technique for removing the group structure is to set the netCDF dimension name, with nc_set_sample_dimension, with no / characters.
