Reading varfiles #5

Closed mtwest2718 closed 2 years ago

mtwest2718 commented 2 years ago

Right now the task is to transition away from using IDL .dac. files to store data. But in order for this to be complete, one also needs to replace a bunch of the file reading subroutines as well.

Also, as more and more data gets bundled into single files, the read/get functionality will need to change as well. Hopefully not too much but there will be necessary logic changes at each step. It's unclear where in the overall project timeline these edits need to occur.

As of 2022/02/09, I am saving only the grid span requested in the setting(s) file. This makes restarts difficult, at least on the edges of the grid.

Can fix #4 so that it save routine includes the margins, though I am not sure how overlaps (the margins) will work.
Write the read routines to fill in marginal spaces. This will take a bunch more code.
