AXCONV - Expands spaced axes in an NDF into the primitive form

Description:

This application routine converts in situ an NDF's  axis centres in the `spaced' form into `simple' form. Applications using the NDF_ library, such as KAPPA, are not currently capable of supporting spaced arrays, but there are packages that produce NDF files with this form of axis, notably ASTERIX. This application provides a temporary method of allowing KAPPA et al. to handle these NDF datasets.

Usage:

axconv ndf

Parameters:

NDF = NDF (Read and Write)

The NDF to be modified.

Examples:

axconv rosat256

This converts the spaced axes in the NDF called rosat256 into simple form.

Implementation Status:

• Only axes with a real data type are created.
