; Case 1: extract from a NetCDF file longitude and latitude arrays, their dimensions
; and make sure it is 1D or 2D arrays

; Case 2: given longitude and latitude arrays, get their dimensions and make
; sure they are 1D or 2D arrays

; Case 1:
; IDL> get_gridparams, file name/id, lonname, latname, lon, lat, jpi, jpj, n_dimensions
;
; Case 2:
; IDL> get_gridparams, lon, lat, jpi, jpj, n_dimensions
;
; @param in1 {in}{required}
; Case 1: name or the id (returned by ncdf_open) of the netcdf file
; Case 2: 1D or 2D arrays defining longitudes, will be forced to have
;         n_dimensions dimensions when returned
;
; @param in2 {in}{required}
; Case 1: name of the variable containing the longitude in the NetCDF file
; Case 2: 1D or 2D arrays defining latitudes, will be forced to have
;         n_dimensions dimensions when returned
;
; @param in3 
; Case 1: name of the variable containing the latitude in the NetCDF file
; Case 2: returned number of points in longitudinal direction.
;
; @param in4 {out}
; Case 1: returned longitudes array, with n_dimensions dimensions
; Case 2: returned number of points in latitudinal direction
;
; @param in5
; Case 1: returned latitudes array, with n_dimensions dimensions 
; Case 2: input scalar (1 or 2) to specify if lon and lat should be returned 
;         as 1D or 2D arrays. Note that if n_dimensions = 1, the grid must be
;         regular (longitude and latitudes can be described as 1D arrays).
;
; @param in6 {out}
; Case 1: returned number of points in longitudinal direction.
;
; @param in7 {out}
; Case 1: returned number of points in latitudinal direction
;
; @param in8 {in}
; Case 1: input scalar (1 or 2) to specify if lon and lat should be returned 
;         as 1D or 2D arrays. Note that if n_dimensions = 1, the grid must be
