NAME

       plcont - Contour plot

SYNOPSIS

       plcont(z, nx, ny, kx, lx, ky, ly, clevel, nlevel, pltr, pltr_data)

DESCRIPTION

       Draws a contour plot of the data in z[nx][ny], using the nlevel contour levels specified by clevel. Only the region of the array from kx to
       lx and from ky to ly is plotted out.  A transformation routine pointed to by pltr with a pointer pltr_data for additional data required	by
       the transformation routine is used to map indices within the array to the world coordinates.  See the following discussion of the arguments
       and the PLplot documentation for more information.

       Redacted form: [PLEASE UPDATE! ONLY PERL INFO IS LIKELY CORRECT!] F95: plcont(z, kx, lx, ky, ly, clevel, tr?) or plcont(z, kx, lx, ky,  ly,
       clevel,	xgrid, ygrid) Java: pls.cont(z, kx, lx, ky, ly, clevel, xgrid, ygrid) Perl/PDL: plcont(z, kx, lx, ky, ly, clevel, pltr, pltr_data)
       Python: plcont2(z, kx, lx, ky, ly, clevel)

       This function is used in examples 9,14,16,22.

ARGUMENTS

       z (PLFLT **, input)
	      Pointer to a vectored two-dimensional array containing data to be contoured.

       nx, ny (PLINT, input)
	      Physical dimensions of array z.

       kx, lx (PLINT, input)
	      Range of x indices to consider.

       ky, ly (PLINT, input)
	      Range of y indices to consider.

       clevel (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to array specifying levels at which to draw contours.

       nlevel (PLINT, input)
	      Number of contour levels to draw.

       pltr (void (*) (PLFLT, PLFLT, PLFLT *, PLFLT *, PLPointer) , input)
	      Pointer to function that defines transformation between indices in array z and the world coordinates (C only).  Transformation func-
	      tions  are  provided in the PLplot library: pltr0(3plplot) for identity mapping, and pltr1(3plplot) and pltr2(3plplot) for arbitrary
	      mappings respectively defined by one- and two-dimensional arrays.  In addition, user-supplied routines for the transformation can be
	      used  as	well.	Examples of all of these approaches are given in the PLplot documentation. The transformation function should have
	      the form given by any of pltr0(3plplot), pltr1(3plplot), or pltr2(3plplot). Note that unlike plshades(3plplot)  and  similar  PLplot
	      functions  which have a pltr argument, plcont requires that a transformation function be provided in the C interface.  Leaving  pltr
	      NULL will result in an error.

       pltr_data (PLPointer, input)
	      Extra parameter to help pass information to pltr0(3plplot), pltr1(3plplot), pltr2(3plplot), or whatever routine that  is	externally
	      supplied.

NAME

       plshade -  Shade individual region on the basis of value

SYNOPSIS

       plshade(a,  nx,	ny,  defined,  xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, shade_min, shade_max, sh_cmap, sh_color, sh_width, min_color, min_width, max_color,
       max_width, fill, rectangular, pltr, pltr_data)

DESCRIPTION

       Shade individual region on the basis of value.  Use plshades(3plplot) if you want to shade a number of  regions	using  continuous  colors.
       plshade(3plplot)  is  identical	to plshade1(3plplot) except for the type of the first parameter. See plshade1(3plplot) for further discus-
       sion.

       Redacted form:  General: plshade(a, defined, xmin,  xmax,  ymin,  ymax,	shade_min,  shade_max,	sh_cmap,  sh_color,  sh_width,	min_color,
       min_width, max_color, max_width, fill, rectangular, pltr, pltr_data) Perl/PDL: Not available?

       This function is used in example 15.

       xmin (PLFLT, input)

       xmax (PLFLT, input)

       ymin (PLFLT, input)

       ymax (PLFLT, input)

       shade_min (PLFLT, input)

       min_color (PLINT, input)

       min_width (PLINT, input)

       max_color (PLINT, input)

       max_width (PLINT, input)

       fill (void (*) (PLINT, PLFLT *, PLFLT *), input)
