Class GribFileGroup

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.jgrib.GribFileGroup

public class GribFileGroup
extends java.lang.Object

A class to store multiple GribFile-s while allowing access to the GribRecords of those files as if they were one large file. This came about because it seems most GRIB files are for a single forecast time, and this will allow an entire forecast period to be built. Therefore, the methods are biased towards the separate files being the same model run at different forecast times. It can be used otherwise, but files will be sorted according to forecast time.
