NAME

cxCoordNVarGet - get number of coordinate variables

C SPECIFICATION

#include <cx/DataAccess.h>

long cxCoordNVarGet(cxCoord *coord)

FORTRAN SPECIFICATION

integer function cxCoordNVarGet(coord)
integer coord

PARAMETERS

coord
Coordinate data structure.

FUNCTION RETURN VALUE

Returns number of coordinate variables, or a negative number if the argument does not reference a valid coordinate structure.

DESCRIPTION

cxCoordNVarGet retrieves the number of coordinate variables. For uniform and perimeter coordinates, this value equals nDim; for curvilinear coordinates, it is independent from nDim, and may be different (larger or smaller).
