Complex data type [message #21875]

Hi to all!

I just wanna know if there is a portable Scientific Data Format (like HDF,
CDF) that supports complex type variables. I think HDF and CDF don�t. And I
wouldn�t like to separate it in Real and Imaginary parts. Currently I�m
using the SAVE procedure and it�s very easy. But it�s temporarily (and not
portable. At least to non-IDL users).

Any help?

Cheers.

Jï¿½lio;

I don't think there's a way to do this without separating the real and
imaginary parts in some way. The simplest way of separating them,
however, is to simply use an additional dimension of 2 on the data.
Then you can store the data in a single structure, so long as you know
that one axis simply separates the real and complex parts.
