NDF_NEW

Create a new simple NDF

Description:

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

Invocation

CALL NDF_NEW( FTYPE, NDIM, LBND, UBND, PLACE, INDF, STATUS )

Arguments

FTYPE = CHARACTER ( ) (Given)
Full type of the NDFs DATA component (e.g. _REAL or COMPLEX_INTEGER).
NDIM = INTEGER (Given)
Number of NDF dimensions.
LBND( NDIM ) = INTEGER (Given)
Lower pixel-index bounds of the NDF.
UBND( NDIM ) = INTEGER (Given)
Upper pixel-index bounds of the NDF.
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.
