Re: Conversion to ASCII

Hi Everyone,
Here's a reply to Rolando, which didn't get posted to the
whole group.

Hi Rolando,
        Here is an example that should help

use etopo20                             ! this file comes with ferret
                                                ! it contains a 2-d variable
                                                ! Relief Of Surface of Earth
region/x=345:365/y=45:60       ! identify a subregion
shade/lev=(-5000,5000,200)/pal=centered rose ! take a look at it

! then list latitude, longitude, depth
list/nohead/file=myregion.ascii/form=(2f8.3,f8.0)/ord=yx
y[g=rose],x[g=rose],rose

! or if you really want the j,i indices
list/nohead/file=myregion.ascii/form=(3f8.0)/ord=yx j[g=rose],i[g=rose],rose

Notes:
        1) the argument /order=yx says to make y (latitude) vary fastest
        2) if listing j,i indices you still need a floating point format
           - ferret does not write out values in integer format
