[ncl-talk] dim_gbits issue

[Kevin Vermeesch]

Hi,
I'm trying to use the built-in function dim_gbits 
(https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/dim_gbits.shtml) 
and am not getting the expected result while trying the example in the 
link above. Looking at the worked example in the Description Section, I 
used the following commands:

x = tobyte((/0,1,0,1,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,0/))
print(dim_gbits(x,5,2,3,4))

I get: (/0,0,2,0/)
when I was expecting to get: (/3,2,1,0/) as the example indicates.

I am using version 6.1.0 (Cygwin) and 6.2.1 (32-bit CentOS). Is this a 
bug or am I not using/understanding the function correctly?
thanks,
Kevin
