NDF_AFORM - Obtain the storage form of an NDF axis array

Description:

The routine returns the storage form of a specified NDF axis array component as an upper case character string (e.g. 'PRIMITIVE').

Invocation:

CALL NDF_AFORM( INDF, COMP, IAXIS, FORM, STATUS )

Arguments:

INDF = INTEGER (Given)

NDF identifier.

COMP = CHARACTER $*$ ( $*$ ) (Given)

Name of the axis array component whose storage form is required: 'CENTRE', 'VARIANCE' or 'WIDTH'.

IAXIS = INTEGER (Given)

Number of the NDF axis for which information is required.

FORM = CHARACTER $*$ ( $*$ ) (Returned)

Storage form of the axis array.

STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)

The global status.

Notes:

• The symbolic constant NDF__SZFRM may be used for declaring the length of a character variable to hold the storage form of an NDF axis array. This constant is defined in the include file NDF_PAR.

• At present, the NDF_ routines only support "primitive" and "simple" arrays, so only the values 'PRIMITIVE' and 'SIMPLE' can be returned.
