SUBROUTINE PLOTSC

 PLOTSC is a very basic routine which plots the curve defined in x,y with axes and a plot title. Various options select the format of the plot.

CALL PLOTSC(x,y,n,iflag,xl,yl,xt,nxt,yt,nyt,t,nt,
              <xm,xx,ym,yx<<,ic>,l>>)

x     (R): array of x values
y     (R): array of y values
n     (I): number of points in x array
iflag (I): option flag
           < 0 : do not close LONGLIB after plotting
           = 0 : close LONGLIB--no plot produced
           > 0 : close LONGLIB after plotting
(magnitude) > 10000 : do not initialize LONGLIB before plotting
     (1's digit) = 0 : no axis or title plotted
                 = 1 : axes with axis line/ticks on top and sides
                 = 2 : plot solid cartesian grid
                 = 3 : plot ticked grid without box
                 = 4 : plot ticked grid with box
                 = 5 : ticked grid and box with axis tick marks
                 = 6 : plot without box or grid
     (10's)      = 0 : Ask which screen device to use
                <> 0 : Screen Device Number (see FRAME)
xl    (R): x axis length in inches (integer valued)
           < 0 : use input scaling in xm,xx
           > 0 : use auto scaling computed from input array
yl    (R): y axis length in inches (integer valued)
           < 0 : use input scaling in ym,yx
           > 0 : use auto scaling computed from input array
xt    (C): x axis title string
nxt   (I): number of characters in xt
           < 0 : axis ticks on top of x axis
           = 0 : no axis
           > 0 : axis ticks on bottom of x axis (normal)
yt    (C): y axis title string
nyt   (I): number of characters in yt
           < 0 : axis ticks on right of y axis
           = 0 : no axis
           > 0 : axis ticks on left of y axis (normal)
t     (C): plot title string (limited to 99 characters)
nt    (I): number of characters in t
           < 0 : use color array
           = 0 : no title
           > 0 : do not use color array
           if |nt|/100 > 0 : use line type list
xm    (R): minimum value of x array (accessed if xl or nt < 0)
xx    (R): maximum value of x array (accessed if xl or nt < 0)
ym    (R): minimum value of y array (accessed if xl, yl or nt<0)
yx    (R): maximum value of y array (accessed if xl, yl or nt<0)
(NOTE: color array accessed if nt < 0 or |nt|/100 >0)
ic    (I): color array
           ic(1) : color for grid
           ic(2) : color for axis lines
           ic(3) : color for axis numbers
           ic(4) : color for axis titles
           ic(5) : color for axis exponents
           ic(6) : color for plotted line
           ic(7) : color for title (return)
l     (I): data line type (accessed if nt < 0 or |nt|/100 > 0)

common /cplotsc/xmr,dxr,ymr,dyr

xmr   (R): returned value of xmin
dxr   (R): returned value of scale factor (xmax-xmin)/xlen
ymr   (R): returned value of ymin
dyr   (R): returned value of scale factor (ymax-ymin)/ylen
