Re: removing degenerate dimensions

Hi Rob,

There's no automatic way to do this. The simple way, that doesn't
retain metadata, is
to simply use onetodond and ndtooned to reshape your array:

   ii = ind(dims.ne.1) ; Get non-degenerate dimensions.
   new_dims = dims(ii) ; New dimension sizes.

;--Reshape array to new dimension sizes
   x2 = onedtond(ndtooned(x),new_dims)

If you need to retain metadata, this is a little more complicated.
See the attached "rm_degen_dims" function with a test
driver.
