[ncl-talk] populating lists with multidimensional arrays

[Will Hobbs]

Hi all

My understanding from the documentation is that elements of an NCL list do not need to be the same size, but I am having trouble populating a list with arrays that are not the same size.

Consider the following test case:

P = NewList("fifo")           ;create new list
Q = NewList("fifo")          ;another new list
x = (/(/1,2,3/),(/4,5,6/)/)  ;a test array

do i = 0, 2

ListAppend(P,x)                 ;keep adding array 'x'
ListAppend(Q,x(:,:i))       ;add a different sized subset of 'x'

end do

print(P)

;returns the following (expected)
;Variable: P
;Type: list
;Total Size: 4 bytes
;            1 values;
;Number of Dimensions: 1
;Dimensions and sizes:   [1]
;Coordinates:
;Type: list <fifo>
;Total items: 3


print(Q)
;returns the following (an empty list)Variable: P
Type: list
Total Size: 4 bytes
            1 values
Number of Dimensions: 1
Dimensions and sizes:   [1]
Coordinates:
Type: list <fifo>
Total items: 0

What am I missing here?

Many thanks

Will
