  select_1 = NA,
  select_2 = NA,

  combo_box = NA,
  graphics = FALSE
)

Arguments

select_1

a numeric vector of first node selections

select_2

a numeric vector of second node selections

Details

An object inheriting from the cfDatatype class is created by the constructor function cf_datatype. The function allows the user to choose datatype(s) interactively (if no arguments are given), or to create datatypes programmatically if the tree menu nodes are known a priori (see examples). This function uses the same nodes, check box and combo box options as CliFlo and can be viewed at the datatype selection page.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Select the surface wind datatype manually (unknown tree nodes)
hourly.wind.dt = cf_datatype()
#  2  --> Datatype:        Wind
#  1  --> Datatype 2:      Surface Wind
#  2  --> Options:         Hourly Wind
# (2) --> Another option:  No
#  3  --> Units:           Knots
hourly.wind.dt

# Or select the datatype programatically (using the selections seen above)
hourly.wind.dt = cf_datatype(2, 1, 2, 3)
hourly.wind.dt
# }
