[gradsusr] How to create a new Grads file?

[Andrew Friedman]

Hi Celso,

For save.gs, you also have to download the dependency scripts parsestr.gsf, parseopt.gsf, qdims.gsf and put them in your GrADS script folder.
The program should work for gridded data, and create a .ctl control file and .dat data file. You can open them by using the command ‘open’ on the control file.

One issue I’ve had with save.gs recently is that the line OPTIONS _cal
causes problems in the control file, so try commenting it out.

Alternatively, you could use the GrADS command sdfwrite to create a netcdf file.

If your data aren’t gridded, you may want to try writing as ASCII following the instructions in the User’s Guide.
