! MODULE: dim
!
! DESCRIPTION:
!> @brief 
!> This module manage dimension and how to change order of those dimension.
!>
!> @details
!>    define type TDIM:<br/>
!> @code
!>    TYPE(TDIM) :: tl_dim
!> @endcode
!>
!>    to initialize a dimension structure:<br/>
!> @code
!>    tl_dim=dim_init( cd_name, [id_len,] [ld_uld,] [cd_sname])
!> @endcode
!>       - cd_name is the dimension name
!>       - id_len is the dimension size [optional]
!>       - ld_uld is true if this dimension is the unlimited one [optional]
!>       - cd_sname is the dimension short name ('x','y','z','t') [optional]
!>
!>    to clean dimension structure:<br/>
!> @code
!>    CALL dim_clean(tl_dim)
!> @endcode
!>       - tl_dim : dimension strucutre or array of dimension structure
!>
!>    to print information about dimension structure:<br/>
!> @code
!>    CALL dim_print(tl_dim)
!> @endcode
!>
!>    to copy dimension structure in another one (using different memory cell):<br/>
!> @code
!>    tl_dim2=dim_copy(tl_dim1) 
!> @endcode
!>
!>    to get dimension name:<br/>
!>    - tl_dim\%c_name
!>
!>    to get dimension short name:<br/>
!>    - tl_dim\%c_sname
!>
!>    to get dimension length:<br/>
!>    - tl_dim\%i_len
!>
!>    to know if dimension is the unlimited one:<br/>
!>    - tl_dim\%l_uld
!>
!>    to get dimension id (for variable or file dimension):<br/>
!>    - tl_dim\%i_id 
!>
!>    to know if dimension is used (for variable or file dimension):<br/>
!>    - tl_dim\%l_use
!>
!>    Former function or information concern only one dimension. However
!>    variables as well as files use usually 4 dimensions.<br/>
!>    To easily work with variable we want they will be all 4D and ordered as
!>    following: ('x','y','z','t').<br/>
!>    Functions and subroutines below, allow to reorder dimension of 
!>    variable.<br/>
!>    
!>    Suppose we defined the array of dimension structure below:<br/>
!> @code
!>    TYPE(TDIM), DIMENSION(4) :: tl_dim 
!>    tl_dim(1)=dim_init( 'X', id_len=10)
!>    tl_dim(2)=dim_init( 'T', id_len=3, ld_uld=.TRUE.)
!> @endcode
!>
!>    to reorder dimension (default order: ('x','y','z','t')):<br/>
!> @code
!>    CALL dim_reorder(tl_dim(:))
!> @endcode
!>
!>    This subroutine filled dimension structure with unused dimension, 
!>    then switch from "disordered" dimension to "ordered" dimension.<br/>
!>    The dimension structure return will be:<br/>
!>    tl_dim(1) => 'X', i_len=10, l_use=T, l_uld=F<br/>
!>    tl_dim(2) => 'Y', i_len=1,  l_use=F, l_uld=F<br/> 
!>    tl_dim(3) => 'Z', i_len=1,  l_use=F, l_uld=F<br/>
!>    tl_dim(4) => 'T', i_len=3,  l_use=T, l_uld=T<br/>
!>
!>    After using subroutine dim_reorder you could use functions and subroutine
!>    below.<br/>
!>
!>    to use another dimension order.<br/>
!> @code
!>    CALL dim_reorder(tl(dim(:), cl_neworder)
!> @endcode
!>    - cl_neworder : character(len=4) (example: 'yxzt')
!>
!>    to switch dimension array from ordered dimension to disordered
!> dimension:<br/>
!> @code
!>    CALL dim_disorder(tl_dim(:))
!> @endcode
!>
!>    to fill unused dimension of an array of dimension structure.<br/>
!> @code
!>    tl_dimout(:)=dim_fill_unused(tl_dimin(:))
!> @endcode
!>    - tl_dimout(:) : 1D array (4elts) of dimension strcuture
!>    - tl_dimin(:)  : 1D array (<=4elts) of dimension structure
!>
!>    to reshape array of value in "ordered" dimension:<br/>
!> @code
