NDF_ASTYP

Set a new numeric type for an NDF axis array

Description:

The routine sets a new numeric type for an NDF axis array, causing its data storage type to be changed. If the arrays values are defined, they will be converted from from the old type to the new one. If they are undefined, then no conversion will be necessary. Subsequent enquiries will reflect the new numeric type. Conversion may be performed between any numeric types supported by the NDF_ routines.

Invocation

CALL NDF_ASTYP( TYPE, INDF, COMP, IAXIS, STATUS )

Arguments

TYPE = CHARACTER ( ) (Given)
New numeric type for the axis array (e.g. _DOUBLE).
INDF = INTEGER (Given)
NDF identifier.
COMP = CHARACTER ( ) (Given)
Name of the axis array component whose numeric type is to be set: CENTRE, VARIANCE or WIDTH.
IAXIS = INTEGER (Given)
Number of the NDF axis whose array is to be modified.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
