[ncl-talk] dim_gbits issue

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Kevin,

I get the same result. However, your case is not exactly like the examples
page, which depicts a sequence of bits, whereas you are feeding a sequence
of bytes into the function.  If you look at the series of bits within those
bytes:

0000 0000 | 0000 0001 | 0000 0000 ...
^                ^                ^
x[0]            x[1]           x[2]          ...

and then perform the dim_gbits decomposition on that, you do indeed get (/
0, 0, 2, 0 /)

Hope that helps...
Rick
