There are a number of functions in DB-ALLe, the idba_spiega group of
functions, that are not needed for normal processing but can be useful to
improve the presentation of data to users.
All these function take a number of parameters and a string, and they store a
proper description of the values into the string.
The functions are:
- idba_spiegal(handle,ltype,l1,l2,string)
- Describes a level. For example, idba_spiegal(handle,106,10,20,string)
will store in string something like: ``Layer between 10hm and
20hm above ground``.
- idba_spiegat(handle,ptype,p1,p2,string)
- Describes a time range. For example, idba_spiegat(handle,3,0,600,string)
will store in string something like: ``Average between reference
time+0s to reference time+600s``.
- idba_spiegab(handle,varcode,value,string)
- Describe a value. For example, idba_spiegab(handle,B12001,280,string)
