Creating Dimensions
Creating a dimension requires specifying a name, the dimension datatype, the dimension domain and the space tile extent. Below you can see an example of creating an
int32 dimension called dim with domain [1,4], and tile extent 2. C
C++
Python
R
Java
Go
C#
#include <tiledb/tiledb.h>
// Create context
tiledb_ctx_t* ctx;
tiledb_ctx_alloc(NULL, &ctx);
// Create dimension
int dim_domain[] = {1, 4};
int tile_extent = 2;
tiledb_dimension_t* dim;
tiledb_dimension_alloc(ctx, "dim", TILEDB_INT32, &dim_domain[0], &tile_extent, &dim);
// ...
// Create string dimension
// No values are accepted for domain and tile extent
tiledb_dimension_t* str_dim;
tiledb_dimension_alloc(ctx, "str_dim", TILEDB_STRING_ASCII, NULL, NULL, &str_dim);
// Make sure to free the dimension and context
tiledb_dimension_free(&dim);
tiledb_ctx_free(&ctx);
#include <tiledb/tiledb>
using namespace tiledb;
// Create context
Context ctx;
// Create dimension
auto dim = Dimension::create<int32_t>(ctx, "dim", {{1, 4}}, 2);
// Or alternatively:
int dim_domain[] = {1, 4};
int tile_extent = 2;
auto dim = Dimension::create(ctx, "dim", TILEDB_INT32, dim_domain, &tile_extent);
// String dimension
// No values are accepted for domain and tile extent
auto dim = Dimension::create(ctx, "dim", TILEDB_STRING_ASCII, nullptr, nullptr);
import tiledb
import numpy as np
dim = tiledb.Dim(name="dim", domain=(1, 4), tile=2, dtype=np.int32)
# for string dimensions, the domain and tiling are handled implicitly
str_dim = tiledb.Dim(name="str_dim", tile=None, dtype="ascii")
library(tiledb)
# Create dimension
dim <- tiledb_dim("dim1", c(1L, 4L), 2L, "INT32")
# String dimenions: no values for domain and extent
strdim <- tiledb_dim("dim2", NULL, NULL, "ASCII")
// Create context
try(Context ctx = new Context()) {
// Create dimension
Dimension dim = new Dimension(ctx, "dim", TILEDB_INT32, new Pair<Integer, Integer>(1, 4), 2);
// String dimension
// No values are accepted for domain and tile extent
Dimension strDim = new Dimension(ctx, "strDim", Datatype.TILEDB_STRING_ASCII, null, null);
}
import tiledb "github.com/TileDB/TileDB-Go"
// Create context
ctx, _ := tiledb.NewContext(nil)
// Create dimension
dim, _ := tiledb.NewDimension(ctx, "dim", []int32{1, 4}, int32(2))
// String dimension
dim, _ := tiledb.NewStringDimension(ctx, "dim")
using TileDB.CSharp;
using Context ctx = new Context();
// Create dimension
using Dimension dim = Dimension.Create(ctx, "dim", 1, 4, 2);
// String dimension
using Dimension strDim = Dimension.CreateString(ctx, "dim");
