Function Documentation

◆ compack()

void compack ( float *  fld,
g2int  ndpts,
g2int  idrsnum,
g2int idrstmpl,
unsigned char *  cpack,
g2int lcpack 
)

This subroutine packs up a data field using a complex packing algorithm as defined in the GRIB2 documention.

It supports GRIB2 complex packing templates with or without spatial differences (i.e. DRTs 5.2 and 5.3). It also fills in GRIB2 Data Representation Template 5.2 or Template 5.3 with the appropriate values.

Parameters
fldContains the data values to pack.
ndptsThe number of data values in array fld.
idrsnumData Representation Template number. Must equal 2 or 3.
idrstmplContains the array of values for Data Representation Template 5.2 or 5.3.
  • 0 Reference value - ignored on input, set my compack().
  • 1 Binary Scale Factor
  • 2 Decimal Scale Factor
  • 6 Missing value management
  • 7 Primary missing value
  • 8 Secondary missing value
  • 16 Order of Spatial Differencing (1 or 2)
cpackThe packed data field.
lcpacklength of packed field cpack.
