[ncl-talk] HDF to Text issues

[Dennis Shea]

The 'key' is to replicate (broadcast) the 'time' variable to the same
dimensionality as the 'data' variable. This is readilt accomplished via the
'conform' function

TIME = conform( data, time, 0)   ; replicate (broadcast) to match dimension
sizes

Then ...

write_table("test.txt","a",[/lat2d,lon2d,TIME,data/],"%-16.5f%-16.5f%-16.5f%-16.5f")

I added an extra ' %-16.5f '   .... these do not have to be the same (I am
sure you know that.)

Note: all the meta data in the example is not really necessary. Meta data
is desirable for writng (say) netCDF and for graphics applications. In this
case, it is not needed.
