Hi Rob, > I'm enjoying the sample programs listed here: > http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/examples/programs/ > > Do you have a few samples that are written in IDL and produce COARDS > compliant netCDF files? No sorry, the only IDL examples we have are the ones referenced on that web page: simple_xy_wr.pro, simple_xy_rd.pro, sfc_pres_temp_wr.pro, sfc_pres_temp_rd.pro, pres_temp_4D_wr.pro, and pres_temp_4D_rd.pro. If you have or develop any better IDL examples, we would be happy to include them. I may eventually add another category of miscellaneous example programs in various languages that demonstrate best practices or full compliance with published conventions, because we get a fair number of requests for such examples. It's on our long-term TODO list. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RUO-406622 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
