Array Schema |
The current array schema version(>=10) is a folder called __schema located here:
my_array # array folder
| ...
|_ __schema # array schema folder
|_ <timestamped_name> # array schema file
|_ ...
The array schema folder can contain:
- Any number of array schema files with name
<timestamped_name>.- Note: the name does not include the format version.
The previous array schema version(<=9) has a file named __array_schema.tdb and is located here:
my_array # array folder
|_ ....
|_ __array_schema.tdb # array schema file
|_ ...
The array schema file consists of a single generic tile, with the following data:
