1% 'struct2nc': create a netcdf file from a Matlab structure
2%---------------------------------------------------------------------
3% errormsg=struct2nc(flname,Data)
4%
5% OUPUT:
6% errormsg=error message, =[]: default, no error
7%
8% INPUT:
9% flname: name of the netcdf file to create (must end with the extension '.nc')
10%  Data: structure containing all the information of the netcdf file (or netcdf object)
11%           with fields:
12%       (optional) .ListGlobalAttribute: list (cell array of character strings) of the names of the global attributes Att_1, Att_2...
13%                  .Att_1,Att_2...: values of the global attributes
14%      (requested) .ListVarName: list of the variable names Var_1, Var_2....(cell array of character strings).
15%      (requested) .VarDimName: list of dimension names for each element of .ListVarName (cell array of string cells)
16%       (optional) .VarAttribute: cell array of structures of the form .VarAttribute{ivar}.key=value, defining an attribute key name and value for the variable #ivar
17%      (requested) .Var1, .Var2....: variables (Matlab arrays) with names listed in .ListVarName
