<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Will,<br><br></div>It looks like you've uncovered a bug, and it seems to relate to the array-slicing in combination with the list. If I manually create a list comprised of different sized arrays, it works:<br><br></div> l = [/ (/ 1, 2, 3 /), (/ 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 /) /]<br></div> print(l)<br><br></div>But if we take a condensed version of your example:<br>We get:<br><div><br> ListAppend(Q,x(:,:2))<br> print(Q)<br><br><br> Variable: Q<br> Type: list<br> Total Size: 4 bytes<br> 1 values<br> Number of Dimensions: 1<br> Dimensions and sizes: [1]<br> Coordinates:<br> Type: list <fifo><br> Total items: 0<br><br></div><div>which is clearly not right. I tried assigning the slice of the x-array to a temporary variable and then appending the temp-var to the list, but that does not work either.<br><br>I will file a bug-report ticket in the morning and take a look at what is going on. I'm sorry that I don't have a good work-around offhand.<br><br></div><div>Rick<br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 7:56 PM, Will Hobbs <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:will.hobbs@utas.edu.au" target="_blank">will.hobbs@utas.edu.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>Hi all</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Consider the following test case:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>P = NewList("fifo") ;create new list</div>
<div>Q = NewList("fifo") ;another new list</div>
<div>x = (/(/1,2,3/),(/4,5,6/)/) ;a test array</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>do i = 0, 2</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ListAppend(P,x) ;keep adding array 'x'</div>
<div>ListAppend(Q,x(:,:i)) ;add a different sized subset of 'x'</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>end do</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>print(P)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>;returns the following (expected)</div>
<div>
<div>;Variable: P</div>
<div>;Type: list</div>
<div>;Total Size: 4 bytes</div>
<div>; 1 values;</div>
<div>;Number of Dimensions: 1</div>
<div>;Dimensions and sizes: [1]</div>
<div>;Coordinates: </div>
<div>;Type: list <fifo></div>
<div>;Total items: 3</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>print(Q)</div>
<div>;returns the following (an empty list)Variable: P</div>
<div>Type: list</div>
<div>Total Size: 4 bytes</div>
<div> 1 values</div>
<div>Number of Dimensions: 1</div>
<div>Dimensions and sizes: [1]</div>
<div>Coordinates: </div>
<div>Type: list <fifo></div>
<div>Total items: 0</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What am I missing here?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Will</div>
