Something like: <div>...</div><div>xdef <name> <size> linear 1 1</div><div>ydef <name> <size> linear 1 1 </div><div><br></div><div>Then when you've got the file open, do a 'q ctlinfo' and copy all the information about the file and paste that into a text file. Now you've got just about everything you need for a descriptor; just add your pdef and the new XDEF and YDEF you're going to interpolate to. </div><div>--Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><br><div><div>On Aug 12, 2009, at 5:18 AM, Dot Deb wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>I have a (CF-1.4 compliant) NetCDF dataset in "rotated pole" coordinate system.<br>I'd like to use the PDEF option ROTLL.<br>I tried to do it writing a minimal "descriptor file" for "xdfopen":<br><br>DSET ^bolchem-saprc90soa-out-20030801.nc<br>PDEF 25 24 ROTLL 48.0 -167.2 0.4 0.4 -4.8 -5.0<br><br>The problem is that xdfopen does not use (and does not recognise) the<br>PDEF entry.<br>I couldn't find any other way than writing a complede "descriptor file".<br>This is a bit annoying because the only thing I have to change for the<br>representation of my dataset is only the coordinate system:<br>I do not want to rewrite all the information already included in my NetCDF!<br><br>Is there anything that escapes me?<br>If not, is there any plan to modify this behavior in short time?<br><br>Alberto<br></div></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>--</div><div>Jennifer M.
