NDF_NEWP

Create a new primitive NDF

Description:

The routine creates a new primitive NDF and returns an identifier for it. The NDF may subsequently be manipulated with the NDF_ routines.

Invocation

CALL NDF_NEWP( FTYPE, NDIM, UBND, PLACE, INDF, STATUS )

Arguments

FTYPE = CHARACTER ( ) (Given)
Data type of the NDFs 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).
PLACE = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
An NDF placeholder (e.g. generated by the NDF_PLACE routine) which indicates the position in the data system where the new NDF will reside. The placeholder is annulled by this routine, and a value of NDF__NOPL will be returned (as defined in the include file NDF_PAR).
INDF = INTEGER (Returned)
Identifier for the new NDF.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
