Revision 495 (checked in by cbc, 12 years ago)

Initial import of Stark code.

Line 
1 function [gridname,ndrog,nts,tsec,pth]=read_pth(fname,ncol,fmtstr)
2 %READ_PTH read drogue .pth file output from DROG3D or DROG3DDT.
3 %
4 % [gridname,ndrog,ndts,tsec,pth]=read_pth(fname,ncol,fmtstr);
5 %
6 %          Input:
7 %                 fname  - path/name of .pth file
8 %                 ncol   - number of columns in output matrix
9 %                 fmtstr - format string for PLOTDROG to use in
10 %                          reading the .pth file (optional)
11 %          Output:
12 %                 gridname - domain name of computation
13 %                 ndrog    - number of drogues at start of run
14 %                 ndts     - number of time steps in run
15 %                 tsec     - length of run in seconds
16 %                 pth      - path data part of the .pth file.
17 %
18 %          If only one output argument is provided, READ_PTH returns
19 %          a structure composed of the above components.
20 %
21 %          READ_PTH takes as required arguments the path/filename of the
22 %          .pth file generated by DROG3D(DT), and the number of columns
23 %          the subroutine OUTPUT (from DROG3D(DT)) used to write the .pth
24 %          file.  The filename specified must NOT include the .pth suffix. 
25 %          This allows READ_PTH to verify that the filetype is correct.
26 %          Ex.: if the path/filename is 'results/case1.pth', the name given
27 %          to READ_PTH should be 'results/case1'.
28 %
29 %          Optional argument comments:
30 %
31 %          If fmtstr is NOT specified, READ_PTH makes assumes the following
32 %          as to the format of the path matrix:
33
34 %          If ncol = 3  -->  real   real   real
35 %          If ncol = 4  -->  real   real   real   real
36 %          If ncol = 5  -->  real   real   real   real  integer
37 %          If ncol = 6  -->  real   real   real   real  real  integer
38 %
39 %          If the above assumption about the format of the output matrix
40 %          is NOT correct, you must specify, in the C fashion, the correct
41 %          format for READ_PTH to use in the C fashion.  See the MATLAB
42 %          Reference Guide under FSCANF for more on format specification. 
43 %
44 % Call as: [gridname,ndrog,ndts,tsec,pth]=read_pth(fname,ncol,fmtstr);
