{ BLOCKTABLE.PDE

This example shows the use of the BLOCK modifier in reading TABLE data.

The BLOCK modifier allows table data to be interpreted in Histogram profile.

The default interpretation imposes a 10% rise width on the histogram blocks,

to avoid dramatic timestep cuts when data are used as driving profiles in

time-dependent problems.

The BLOCK(rise) qualifier allows the specification of a rise width as a fraction

of block width.
