\begin_layout Chapter
Scalar
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Scalar, as its name, representing zero-dimension data, is a new element
 in XIOS 2.0
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Working with configuration file
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Scalar can be easily defined in the configuration file and in most case,
 that should be enough.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Scalar is defined inside its definition part with the tag 
\series bold
\color black
scalar_definition
\series default
\color inherit
.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The first one is to specify explicitly identification of a scalar with an
 id.

\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In this way, with the id, the scalar can be processed, e.x modified its attribute
s, with Fortran interface; besides, it is only possible to reference to
 a scalar whose id is explicitly defined.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To make a reference to a scalar, we use 
\shape italic
scalar_ref
\end_layout

\begin_layout Plain Layout

  <scalar scalar_ref="scalar_A" />
\end_layout

\begin_layout Plain Layout

</scalar_definition>
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A scalar defined by scalar_ref will inherit all attributes of the referenced
 one, except its id attribute.
 If there is no id specified, an implicit one is assigned to this new scalar.
 The scalar with implicit id can only be used inside the scope where it
 is defined, it can not be referenced, nor be processed.
 It is useless to define an scalar without id inside scalar_definition.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To define a new scalar inside a grid, we use the tag 
\series bold
\color black
scalar.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The xml lines above can be translated as: the grid_A composed of an scalar_A
 that is defined somewhere else before.
 More precisely, the grid grid_A is constituted of an

 scalar which has inherited all attributes (and their values) from scalar_A
 (name, ...
 etc).

\begin_layout Standard
All attributes of scalar can be found in Reference Guide.
