DFSDsetdimscale/dssdisc

intn DFSDsetdimscale (intn dim, int32 dimsize, VOIDP scale)

dim IN:

Dimension this scale corresponds to

dimsize IN:

Size of the scale buffer

scale IN:

Buffer for the scale values

Purpose

Defines the scale for a dimension.

Return value

Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.

Description

A scale is a one-dimensional array whose values describe reference points along one dimension of the dataset. For example, a two-dimensional dataset representing points on a map could have two scales, one representing points of latitude, and the other points of longitude.

FORTRAN
