function theResult = subsindex(self)

% oct_ncvar/subsindex -- Value of an oct_ncvar object as an index.
%  subsindex(self) returns the set of zero-based indices
%   equivalent to the value of self, an "oct_ncvar" object.
%   The result is [find(isfinite(self(:)) ~= 0) - 1],
%   corresponding to the one-dimensional indices of
%   all the finite, non-zero elements in the contents
%   of self.
