ncl_pcdlsc - Man Page

Defines the default list of "special colors" used by PCHIQU in drawing certain characters from the filled fonts. Calling PCDLSC with the argument IFCI will define color indices IFCI, IFCI+1, IFCI+2, ..., IFCI+15 and it will set all elements of the internal parameter array ´CC´ corresponding to indices 1 through 16. At the moment, although such a call does define a set of sixteen colors (ranging from blue to red) and set the elements of ´CC´, it´s a bit pointless, since there are no characters for which the special colors are used. In the future, there will be a few such (like the state highway symbol, which is normally drawn in a particular pair of colors); at that time, the routine will be of more use.

Synopsis

CALL PCDLSC (IFCI)

C-Binding Synopsis

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_pcdlsc (int ifci)

Description

IFCI: (an input expression of type INTEGER) specifies the first of a set of sixteen color indices that may be defined by PCDLSC. Make sure that these color indices are not already used.

C-Binding Description

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions.

Usage

This routine allows you to set the current value of Plotchar parameters. For a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the plotchar_params man page.
