COASTLN.DAT File - Data Records
The COASTLN.DAT file contains "NCOAST" groups of coastal coordinates and related data. Each
group of records consists of a single data header record (see Table 9-46) followed by a variable number of
data records (see Table 9-47) containing the X and Y coordinates of each point used to define the
coastline. The number of coastlines (NCOAST) must not exceed the maximum number specified in the
parameter file (MXCOAST), and the number of points used to define a coastline must not exceed its
maximum (MXPTCST). See the PARAMS.PUF file for the specification of the MXCOAST and
MXPTCST variables.
Sample Fortran read statements for COASTLN.DAT data records are:
┌─ Loop over "NCOAST" coastlines (i)
│
│
READ(iunit,*)ADIR, ALABEL
│
│ ┌─ Loop over data points (j)
│ │
│ │ READ(iunit,*)XKM(i,j), YKM(i,j)
│ │
│ └─ End loop over data points
│
└─ End loop over coastlines
