``NDF'' stands for Extensible N-Dimensional Data Format. It is
a standard file format for storing data which represent N-dimensional
arrays of numbers, such as spectra, images, etc. and it
therefore forms the basis of many spectral and image-processing
applications.
This document describes a subroutine library for accessing data stored
in this form from applications written to run within a programming
environment (such as ADAM - see SUN/101 &
SG/4).
For applications which do not use such facilities, a ``stand-alone'',
version of the library is also available (see
§).
