NDF_CREP
- Create a new primitive NDF via the ADAM parameter system
- Description:
The routine creates a new primitive NDF via the ADAM parameter
system, associates it with a parameter, and returns an NDF
identifier for it.
- Invocation:
CALL NDF_CREP( PARAM, FTYPE, NDIM, UBND, INDF, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
PARAM = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
Name of the ADAM parameter.
-
FTYPE = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
Type of the NDF's DATA component (e.g. '_REAL'). Note that
complex types are not permitted when creating a primitive NDF.
-
NDIM = INTEGER (Given)
-
Number of NDF dimensions.
-
UBND( NDIM ) = INTEGER (Given)
-
Upper pixel-index bounds of the NDF (the lower bound of each
dimension is taken to be 1).
-
INDF = INTEGER (Returned)
-
NDF identifier.
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status.
- Notes:
-
This routine creates a "primitive" NDF, i.e. one whose array
components will be stored in "primitive" form by default (see
SGP/38).
-
The data type of the DATA component is specified via the FTYPE
argument and the data type of the VARIANCE component defaults to
the same value. These data types may be set individually with the
NDF_STYPE routine if required.
-
If this routine is called with STATUS set, then a value of
NDF__NOID will be returned for the INDF argument, although no
further processing will occur. The same value will also be
returned if the routine should fail for any reason. The NDF__NOID
constant is defined in the include file NDF_PAR.
