## @deftypefn  {Function File} {} nccreate(@var{filename},@var{varname})
## @deftypefnx  {Function File} {} nccreate(@var{filename},@var{varname},"property",@var{value},...)
##
## Create the variable @var{varname} in the file @var{filename}.
##
## @subsubheading Properties
## The following properties can be used:
## @itemize
## @item "Dimensions": a cell array with the dimension names followed by their
## length or Inf if the dimension is unlimited. If the property is omitted, a 
## scalar variable is created.
## @item "Datatype": a string with the Octave data type name 
## (see @code{ncinfo} for the correspondence between Octave and NetCDF data 
## types). The default data type is a "double".
## @item "Format": This can be "netcdf4_classic" (default), "classic", "64bit" 
## or "netcdf4".
## @item "FillValue": the value used for undefined elements of the NetCDF 
## variable.
## @item "ChunkSize": the size of the data chunks. If omitted, the variable is 
## not chunked.
## @item "DeflateLevel": The deflate level for compression. It can be the string
## "disable" (default) for no compression or an integer between 0 (no 
## compression) and 9 (maximum compression).
## @item "Shuffle": true for enabling the shuffle filter or false (default) for 
## disabling it.
## @end itemize
