EOS_GD_DEFTILE

Syntax | Return Value | Arguments | Keywords | Examples | Version History

This function defines the tiling dimensions for fields defined following this function call, analogous to the procedure for setting the field compression scheme using EOS_GD_DEFCOMP. The number of tile dimensions and subsequent field dimensions must be the same and the tile dimensions must be integral divisors of the corresponding field dimensions. A tile dimension set to 0 will be equivalent to 1.

Note
Array ordering of variables used or returned by this routine changed in IDL 5.5. Programs written for versions of this routine prior to IDL 5.5 may need to be modified to work correctly with the current version. See Note on Array Ordering for details.

Syntax

Result = EOS_GD_DEFTILE( gridID, tilecode [, tilerank, tiledims] )

Return Value

Returns SUCCEED(0) if successful and FAIL(–1) otherwise

Arguments

gridID

Grid id (long) returned by EOS_GD_CREATE or EOS_GD_ATTACH.

tilecode

Tile code (long): 0 = notile, 1 = tile

tilerank

The number of tile dimensions (long) (optional).

tiledims

Tile dimensions (long) (optional).

Keywords

None

Examples

We will define four fields in a grid, two 2-D fields of the same size with the same tiling, a three-dimensional field with a different tiling scheme, and a fourth with no tiling. We assume that XDim is 200 and YDim is 300.

tiledims[0] = 100 
tiledims[1] = 200 
status = EOS_GD_DEFTILE(gridID, 1, 2, tiledims) 
status = EOS_GD_DEFFIELD(gridID, "Pressure", "YDim,XDim", 22) 
status = EOS_GD_DEFFIELD(gridID, "Temperature", "YDim,XDim", 5) 
tiledims[0] = 1 
tiledims[1] = 150 
tiledims[2] = 100 
status = EOS_GD_DEFTILE(gridID, 1, 3, tiledims) 
status = EOS_GD_DEFFIELD(gridID, "Spectra", "Bands,YDim,XDim", 5) 
status = EOS_GD_DEFTILE(gridID, 0, 0) 
status = EOS_GD_DEFFIELD(gridID, "Communities", "YDim,XDim", 24, 
/MERGE)
