Description of Plotting Routines

This chapter details the central LONGLIB graphics library routines. A brief description of each routine is shown along with an example of its call and a description of the associated parameters. Parameters are shown in <> brackets are optional in systems permitting optional parameters. They are are not accessed unless specifically requested by other parameters valuesgif.

The name of each parameter is followed by a letter indicating the variable type. Unless otherwise specified, integers are the default integer length of the machine (which is  INTEGER*4 on the VAX).          

     I = INTEGER 
     R = REAL
     C = CHARACTER 
     L = LOGICAL

Lengths are given in the standard plot units of inches. The routine  FACTOR can be used to change the plot unit length. Angles are specified in degrees counter-clockwise from the x axis.

Unless specifically noted all parameters passed into a routine via the call statement will be used on a "read-only" basis, i.e., they will not be modified by the routine.
