NDG_NDFCP - Obtain an NDF identifier for a new primitive NDF

Description:

The routine returns an NDF identifier for a new primitive NDF created with the specified attributes. The name of the new NDF is held at a given index within a given group. It is equivalent to NDF_CREP.

Invocation:

CALL NDG_NDFCP( IGRP, INDEX, FTYPE, NDIM, UBND, INDF, STATUS )

Arguments:

IGRP = INTEGER (Given)

A GRP identifier for a group holding the names of NDFs. This will often be created using NDG_ASSOC, but groups created "by hand" using GRP directly (i.e. without the supplemental groups created by NDG_ASSOC) can also be used.

INDEX = INTEGER (Given)

The index within the group at which the name of the NDF to be created is stored.

FTYPE = CHARACTER $*$ ( $*$ ) (Given)

Type of the NDF's 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).

INDF = INTEGER (Returned)

NDF identifier.

STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)

The global status.
