Dear Marianne

In our library are lots of routines for structures and their tags.


; NAME:
;   reform_struct
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_html/dbase/download/reform_struct.tar.gz
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_html/dbase/download/reform_struct.sav
;
; PURPOSE:
;   This function is used to reform a structure as tag array or 
;   struct array
;
; CATEGORY:
;   PROG_TOOLS/STRUCTURES
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
; result=reform_struct(structure,dim1,[dim2],[dim3],[dim4],$
;      [dim5],[dim6],[dim7],[dim8],[/struct_array],[/tag_array]
;
; EXAMPLE:
;   data=create_struct('A',FINDGEN(15),'B',SIN(FINDGEN(15)))
;   result=reform_struct(data,15,/struct_array)
;   HELP,result
;   RESULT          STRUCT    = -> <Anonymous> Array[15]

tmp={a:findgen(15)}
tmp=reform_struct(tmp,15,/struct_array)
tmp2={a:tmp,b:1}
help,tmp2,/str
** Structure <1353068>, 2 tags, length=64, refs=1:
   A               STRUCT    -> <Anonymous> Array[15]
   B               INT              1



The following routines are useful for non arrayed structures.
