SDsetdimscale/sfsdscale

intn SDsetdimscale(int32 dim_id, int32 count, int32 data_type, VOIDP data)

dim_id

IN:

Dimension identifier returned by SDgetdimid

count

IN:

Total number of values along the dimension

data_type

IN:

Data type of the values along the dimension

data

IN:

Value of each increment along the dimension

Purpose

Stores the values of a dimension.

Return value

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

Description

SDsetdimscale stores scale information for the dimension identified by the parameter dim_id. Note that it is possible to store dimension scale values without naming the dimension.

Even though it is redundant, the parameter count has been included for backward compatibility.

Note that, due to the existence of the parameter data_type, the dimension scales need not have the same data type as the data set.

FORTRAN

integer function sfsdscale(dim_id, count, data_type, data)
