EOS_GD_DUPREGION

This function copies the information stored in a current region or period to a new region or period and generates a new id. It is useful when the user wishes to further subset a region (period) in multiple ways.

Syntax

Result = EOS_GD_DUPREGION(regionID)

Return Value

Returns new region or period ID or FAIL (–1) if the region cannot be duplicated.

Arguments

regionID

Region or period id (long) returned by EOS_GD_DEFBOXREGION or EOS_GD_DEFVRTREGION.

Keywords

None

Examples

In this example, we first subset a grid with EOS_GD_DEFBOXREGION, duplicate the region creating a new region ID, regionID2, and then perform two different vertical subsets of these (identical) geographic subset regions:

regionID = EOS_GD_DEFBOXREGION(gridID, cornerlon, cornerlat)  
regionID2 = EOS_GD_DUPREGION(regionID)  
regionID = EOS_GD_DEFVRTREGION(gridID, regionID, "Pressure",$   
   rangePres)  
regionID2 = EOS_GD_DEFVRTREGION(gridID, regionID2, $  
   "Temperature", rangeTemp)
