point_spacing must be even?

[Charlton Purvis <cpurvis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there:

I am having a problem rendering a netCDF file through LAS, and I believe
it is because my lat and lon point_spacings are not even.  I am not a
netCDF monkey, so it is more by trial and error that I think this to be
the case.  If I removed point_spacing = "even" from another working data
file, LAS does not like it.  I get an error like:

**TMAP ERR: non-existent or not on line
             /home/cpurvis/noaa/minute/test40.nc
set data "/home/cpurvis/noaa/minute/test40.nc"
Command file, command group, or REPEAT execution aborted

My lat and lon are not evenly spaced, so I can't simply jam that into
the file.

I have looked through the mailing lists, and maybe it has something to
do w/ the size of the file?  This one isn't big, lat = 61 and lon = 61.

FERRET v5.41  
Linux 2.4.3-12smp - 08/30/02 

LAS v6.0

It displays fine through ncview and ncbrowse, and DODS can successfully
serve it up.

Thanks in advance.
