ncl_gsvp - Man Page

establishes a rectangular subspace of normalized device coordinates space. Calls to GSVP are discouraged with NCAR Graphics. Instead, use the SET subroutine because SET also supports mirror imaging and log scaling of axes.

Synopsis

CALL GSVP (TRNUM, XMIN, XMAX, YMIN, YMAX)

C-Binding Synopsis

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_vp(Gint tran_num, const Glimit *vp_limits);

Description

TRNUM

(Integer, Input) - A normalization transformation  number. The number of available transformations is implementation  specific. In the case of NCAR GKS-0A, two normalization  transformations are provided:

0

Selects the identity transformation in which both the  window and viewport have the range of 0. to 1. in both  coordinate directions.  This is the default normalization transformation for  GKS. It is also fixed within GKS; that is, it is illegal to call GSVP  with TRNUM = 0.

1

A normalization transformation in which the viewport is defined  by XMIN to XMAX and YMIN to YMAX.

XMIN

(Real, Input) - The left horizontal coordinate of  the viewport.

XMAX

(Real, Input) - The right horizontal coordinate of  the viewport. 0. ≤ XMIN < XMAX ≤ 1.

YMIN

(Real, Input) - The bottom vertical coordinate of  the viewport.

YMAX

(Real, Input) - The top vertical coordinate of the  viewport. 0. ≤ YMIN < YMAX ≤ 1.

Defaults:

TRNUM = 0, XMIN = 0.0, XMAX = 1.0, YMIN = 0.0, YMAX = 1.0

Access

To use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library  ncarg_gks.
