<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I have a netcdf file that cannot be opened with sdfopen because it doesn't follow the COORDS convention. After creating a descriptor file with x, y, and t definitions I can open the file with xdfopen and display data. However, when I use the "set lat" and "set lon" commands in this scenario the program bombs out. I therefore decided to create the full descriptor file (with dtype netcdf, pdef set accordingly, etc.) so I could plot my area of interest with the "set lat" and "set lon" commands. That all seems to work fine; however, my data values now are all zero. This is perplexing because I could see non-zero data when opening the file with the xdfopen command, but not when I opened the netcdf file with the open command and full descriptor file (I'm trying to plot forecast precipitation, by the way). If needed I can provide a copy of my descriptor file. Thanks for any advice you can offer.</div>
