Full Discussion: Getopts - What am I missing?
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Getopts - What am I missing? Post 303046195 by sea on Monday 27th of April 2020 09:52:18 PM
Old 04-27-2020
Just came to mind - before this goes archive, if you look for a solution to this issue, here is mine:

Code:
for opt in "${@}"
do 	# Only parse for Arguments
	# if variable:'opt' starts with '-'
	[[ "-" == "${opt:0:1}" ]] && \
		case "${opt:1}" in
		"h" | "-help")
			echo "Usage: $FUNCNAME [options] arg1 arg2"
			exit 0
			;;
		"1" | "2" | "3")
			ROWS="${opt/-}"
			shift
			;;
		esac
done

Hope this helps and stay healthy

plmeshc

PLMESHC(3plplot)						    PLplot API							  PLMESHC(3plplot)

NAME

       plmeshc - Magnitude colored plot surface mesh with contour.

SYNOPSIS

       plmeshc(x, y, z, nx, ny, opt, clevel, nlevel)

DESCRIPTION

       Identical  to  plmesh  but  with extra functionalities: the surface mesh can be colored accordingly to the current z value being plotted, a
       contour plot can be drawn at the base XY plane, and a curtain can be drawn between the plotted function border and the base XY plane.

       Redacted form: plmeshc(x, y, z, opt, clevel)

       This function is used in example 11.

ARGUMENTS

       x (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to set of x coordinate values at which the function is evaluated.

       y (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to set of y coordinate values at which the function is evaluated.

       z (PLFLT **, input)
	      Pointer to a vectored two-dimensional array with set of function values.

       nx (PLINT, input)
	      Number of x values at which function is evaluated.

       ny (PLINT, input)
	      Number of y values at which function is evaluated.

       opt (PLINT, input)
	      Determines the way in which the surface is represented. To specify more than one option just add the  options,  e.g.  DRAW_LINEXY  +
	      MAG_COLOR  opt=DRAW_LINEX:  Lines  are  drawn  showing z as a function of x for each value of y[j].  opt=DRAW_LINEY: Lines are drawn
	      showing z as a function of y for each value of x[i].  opt=DRAW_LINEXY: Network of lines is drawn connecting points at which function
	      is defined.  opt=MAG_COLOR: Each line in the mesh is colored according to the z value being plotted. The color is used from the cur-
	      rent colormap 1.	opt=BASE_CONT: A contour plot is drawn at the base XY plane using parameters nlevel and  clevel.   opt=DRAW_SIDES:
	      draws a curtain between the base XY plane and the borders of the plotted function.

       clevel (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to the array that defines the contour level spacing.

       nlevel (PLINT, input)
	      Number of elements in the clevel array.
