Re: pdfx() bin boundaries

Dennis,

Thanks for the quick reply, especially given that it's a holiday weekend...

Not sure what you mean by "that" -- the behavior I observed or the
behavior I expected?  The code in contributed.ncl pretty clearly sets
opt@bin_max as the lower bound of the final bin.  Here's the relevant
code, from lines 10191-10193:

     dbin        = (xMax-xMin)/(nbins-1)
     binBound    = xMin + ispan(0,nbins,1)*dbin
     binCenter   = (binBound(0:nbins-1) + binBound(1:nbins))*0.5d

I guess what I'm saying is that this strikes me as an odd choice and
that I'm inclined to think most people would assume that bin_min and
bin_max form the outer bounds of the set of bins, with bin_width =
(bin_max - bin_min)/nbins.  Either way, perhaps the documentation
could be updated to make the behavior more explicit.

Cheers,
Rob
