Descriptions
pgarro( x1, y1, x2, y2 )
Draw an arrow from the point with world-coordinates (X1,Y1) to
(X2,Y2). The size of the arrowhead at (X2,Y2) is determined by
the current character size set by routine PGSCH. The default size
is 1/40th of the smaller of the width or height of the view surface.
The appearance of the arrowhead (shape and solid or open) is
controlled by routine PGSAH.
Arguments:
X1, Y1 (input) : world coordinates of the tail of the arrow.
X2, Y2 (input) : world coordinates of the head of the arrow.
Change the ``prompt state'' of PGPLOT. If the prompt state is
ON, PGPAGE will type ``Type RETURN for next page:'' and will wait
for the user to type a carriage-return before starting a new page.
The initial prompt state (after the device has been opened) is ON
for interactive devices. Prompt state is always OFF for
non-interactive devices.
Arguments:
FLAG (input) : if .TRUE., and if the device is an interactive
device, the prompt state will be set to ON. If
.FALSE., the prompt state will be set to OFF.
pgbbuf
Begin saving graphical output commands in an internal buffer; the
commands are held until a matching PGEBUF call (or until the buffer
is emptied by PGUPDT). This can greatly improve the efficiency of
PGPLOT. PGBBUF increments an internal counter, while PGEBUF
decrements this counter and flushes the buffer to the output
device when the counter drops to zero. PGBBUF and PGEBUF calls
should always be paired.
Arguments: none
Note: new programs should use PGOPEN rather than PGBEG. PGOPEN
is retained for compatibility with existing programs. Unlike PGOPEN,
PGBEG closes any graphics devices that are already open, so it
cannot be used to open devices to be used in parallel.
PGBEG opens a graphical device or file and prepares it for
subsequent plotting. A device must be opened with PGBEG or PGOPEN
before any other calls to PGPLOT subroutines for the device.
If any device is already open for PGPLOT output, it is closed before
the new device is opened.
Returns:
PGBEG : a status return value. A value of 1 indicates
successful completion, any other value indicates
an error. In the event of error a message is
written on the standard error unit.
To test the return value, call
PGBEG as a function, eg IER=PGBEG(...); note
that PGBEG must be declared INTEGER in the
calling program. Some Fortran compilers allow
you to use CALL PGBEG(...) and discard the
return value, but this is not standard Fortran.
Arguments:
UNIT (input) : this argument is ignored by PGBEG (use zero).
FILE (input) : the "device specification" for the plot device.
(For explanation, see description of PGOPEN.)
NXSUB (input) : the number of subdivisions of the view surface in
X (>0 or <0).
NYSUB (input) : the number of subdivisions of the view surface in
Y (>0).
PGPLOT puts NXSUB x NYSUB graphs on each plot
page or screen; when the view surface is sub-
divided in this way, PGPAGE moves to the next
panel, not the next physical page. If
NXSUB > 0, PGPLOT uses the panels in row
order; if <0, PGPLOT uses them in column order.
Plot a histogram of NBIN values with X(1..NBIN) values along
the ordinate, and DATA(1...NBIN) along the abscissa. Bin width is
spacing between X values.
Arguments:
NBIN (input) : number of values.
X (input) : abscissae of bins.
DATA (input) : data values of bins.
CENTER (input) : if .TRUE., the X values denote the center of the
bin; if .FALSE., the X values denote the lower
edge (in X) of the bin.
pgbox( xopt, xtick, nxsub, yopt, ytick, nysub )
Annotate the viewport with frame, axes, numeric labels, etc.
PGBOX is called by on the user's behalf by PGENV, but may also be
called explicitly.
Arguments:
XOPT (input) : string of options for X (horizontal) axis of
plot. Options are single letters, and may be in
any order (see below).
XTICK (input) : world coordinate interval between major tick marks
on X axis. If XTICK=0.0, the interval is chosen by
PGBOX, so that there will be at least 3 major tick
marks along the axis.
NXSUB (input) : the number of subintervals to divide the major
coordinate interval into. If XTICK=0.0 or NXSUB=0,
the number is chosen by PGBOX.
YOPT (input) : string of options for Y (vertical) axis of plot.
Coding is the same as for XOPT.
YTICK (input) : like XTICK for the Y axis.
NYSUB (input) : like NXSUB for the Y axis.
Options (for parameters XOPT and YOPT):
A : draw Axis (X axis is horizontal line Y=0, Y axis is vertical
line X=0).
B : draw bottom (X) or left (Y) edge of frame.
C : draw top (X) or right (Y) edge of frame.
G : draw Grid of vertical (X) or horizontal (Y) lines.
I : Invert the tick marks; ie draw them outside the viewport
instead of inside.
L : label axis Logarithmically (see below).
N : write Numeric labels in the conventional location below the
viewport (X) or to the left of the viewport (Y).
P : extend ("Project") major tick marks outside the box (ignored if
option I is specified).
M : write numeric labels in the unconventional location above the
viewport (X) or to the right of the viewport (Y).
T : draw major Tick marks at the major coordinate interval.
S : draw minor tick marks (Subticks).
V : orient numeric labels Vertically. This is only applicable to Y.
The default is to write Y-labels parallel to the axis.
1 : force decimal labelling, instead of automatic choice (see PGNUMB).
2 : force exponential labelling, instead of automatic.
To get a complete frame, specify BC in both XOPT and YOPT.
Tick marks, if requested, are drawn on the axes or frame
or both, depending which are requested. If none of ABC is specified,
tick marks will not be drawn. When PGENV calls PGBOX, it sets both
XOPT and YOPT according to the value of its parameter AXIS:
-1: 'BC', 0: 'BCNST', 1: 'ABCNST', 2: 'ABCGNST'.
For a logarithmic axis, the major tick interval is always 1.0. The
numeric label is 10**(x) where x is the world coordinate at the
tick mark. If subticks are requested, 8 subticks are drawn between
each major tick at equal logarithmic intervals.
To label an axis with time (days, hours, minutes, seconds) or
angle (degrees, arcmin, arcsec), use routine PGTBOX.
pgcirc( xcent, ycent, radius )
Draw a circle. The action of this routine depends
on the setting of the Fill-Area Style attribute. If Fill-Area Style
is SOLID (the default), the interior of the circle is solid-filled
using the current Color Index. If Fill-Area Style is HOLLOW, the
outline of the circle is drawn using the current line attributes
(color index, line-style, and line-width).
Arguments:
XCENT (input) : world x-coordinate of the center of the circle.
YCENT (input) : world y-coordinate of the center of the circle.
RADIUS (input) : radius of circle (world coordinates).
pgclos
Close the currently selected graphics device. After the device has
been closed, either another open device must be selected with PGSLCT
or another device must be opened with PGOPEN before any further
plotting can be done. If the call to PGCLOS is omitted, some or all
of the plot may be lost.
[This routine was added to PGPLOT in Version 5.1.0. Older programs
use PGEND instead.]
Arguments: none
Draw a contour map of an array. This routine is the same as PGCONS,
except that array elements that have the "magic value" defined by
argument BLANK are ignored, making gaps in the contour map. The
routine may be useful for data measured on most but not all of the
points of a grid.
Arguments:
A (input) : data array.
IDIM (input) : first dimension of A.
JDIM (input) : second dimension of A.
I1,I2 (input) : range of first index to be contoured (inclusive).
J1,J2 (input) : range of second index to be contoured (inclusive).
C (input) : array of contour levels (in the same units as the
data in array A); dimension at least NC.
NC (input) : number of contour levels (less than or equal to
dimension of C). The absolute value of this
argument is used (for compatibility with PGCONT,
where the sign of NC is significant).
TR (input) : array defining a transformation between the I,J
grid of the array and the world coordinates. The
world coordinates of the array point A(I,J) are
given by:
X = TR(1) + TR(2)*I + TR(3)*J
Y = TR(4) + TR(5)*I + TR(6)*J
Usually TR(3) and TR(5) are zero - unless the
coordinate transformation involves a rotation
or shear.
BLANK (input) : elements of array A that are exactly equal to
this value are ignored (blanked).
Shade the region between two contour levels of a function defined on
the nodes of a rectangular grid. The routine uses the current fill
attributes, hatching style (if appropriate), and color index.
If you want to both shade between contours and draw the contour
lines, call this routine first (once for each pair of levels) and
then CALL PGCONT (or PGCONS) to draw the contour lines on top of the
shading.
Note 1: This routine is not very efficient: it generates a polygon
fill command for each cell of the mesh that intersects the desired
area, rather than consolidating adjacent cells into a single polygon.
Note 2: If both contours intersect all four edges of a particular
mesh cell, the program behaves badly and may consider some parts
of the cell to lie in more than one contour range.
Note 3: If a contour crosses all four edges of a cell, this
routine may not generate the same contours as PGCONT or PGCONS
(these two routines may not agree either). Such cases are always
ambiguous and the routines use different approaches to resolving
the ambiguity.
Arguments:
A (input) : data array.
IDIM (input) : first dimension of A.
JDIM (input) : second dimension of A.
I1,I2 (input) : range of first index to be contoured (inclusive).
J1,J2 (input) : range of second index to be contoured (inclusive).
C1, C2 (input) : contour levels; note that C1 must be less than C2.
TR (input) : array defining a transformation between the I,J
grid of the array and the world coordinates. The
world coordinates of the array point A(I,J) are
given by:
X = TR(1) + TR(2)*I + TR(3)*J
Y = TR(4) + TR(5)*I + TR(6)*J
Usually TR(3) and TR(5) are zero - unless the
coordinate transformation involves a rotation
or shear.
Label a contour map drawn with routine PGCONT. Routine PGCONT should
be called first to draw the contour lines, then this routine should be
called to add the labels. Labels are written at intervals along the
contour lines, centered on the contour lines with lettering aligned
in the up-hill direction. Labels are opaque, so a part of the under-
lying contour line is obscured by the label. Labels use the current
attributes (character height, line width, color index, character
font).
The first 9 arguments are the same as those supplied to PGCONT, and
should normally be identical to those used with PGCONT. Note that
only one contour level can be specified; tolabel more contours, call
PGCONL for each level.
The Label is supplied as a character string in argument LABEL.
The spacing of labels along the contour is specified by parameters
INTVAL and MININT. The routine follows the contour through the
array, counting the number of cells that the contour crosses. The
first label will be written in the MININT'th cell, and additional
labels will be written every INTVAL cells thereafter. A contour
that crosses less than MININT cells will not be labelled. Some
experimentation may be needed to get satisfactory results; a good
place to start is INTVAL=20, MININT=10.
Arguments:
A (input) : data array.
IDIM (input) : first dimension of A.
JDIM (input) : second dimension of A.
I1, I2 (input) : range of first index to be contoured (inclusive).
J1, J2 (input) : range of second index to be contoured (inclusive).
C (input) : the level of the contour to be labelled (one of the
values given to PGCONT).
TR (input) : array defining a transformation between the I,J
grid of the array and the world coordinates.
The world coordinates of the array point A(I,J)
are given by:
X = TR(1) + TR(2)*I + TR(3)*J
Y = TR(4) + TR(5)*I + TR(6)*J
Usually TR(3) and TR(5) are zero - unless the
coordinate transformation involves a rotation or
shear.
LABEL (input) : character strings to be used to label the specified
contour. Leading and trailing blank spaces are
ignored.
INTVAL (input) : spacing along the contour between labels, in
grid cells.
MININT (input) : contours that cross less than MININT cells
will not be labelled.
Draw a contour map of an array. The map is truncated if
necessary at the boundaries of the viewport. Each contour line is
drawn with the current line attributes (color index, style, and
width). This routine, unlike PGCONT, does not draw each contour as a
continuous line, but draws the straight line segments composing each
contour in a random order. It is thus not suitable for use on pen
plotters, and it usually gives unsatisfactory results with dashed or
dotted lines. It is, however, faster than PGCONT, especially if
several contour levels are drawn with one call of PGCONS.
Arguments:
A (input) : data array.
IDIM (input) : first dimension of A.
JDIM (input) : second dimension of A.
I1,I2 (input) : range of first index to be contoured (inclusive).
J1,J2 (input) : range of second index to be contoured (inclusive).
C (input) : array of contour levels (in the same units as the
data in array A); dimension at least NC.
NC (input) : number of contour levels (less than or equal to
dimension of C). The absolute value of this
argument is used (for compatibility with PGCONT,
where the sign of NC is significant).
TR (input) : array defining a transformation between the I,J
grid of the array and the world coordinates. The
world coordinates of the array point A(I,J) are
given by:
X = TR(1) + TR(2)*I + TR(3)*J
Y = TR(4) + TR(5)*I + TR(6)*J
Usually TR(3) and TR(5) are zero - unless the
coordinate transformation involves a rotation
or shear.
Draw a contour map of an array. The map is truncated if
necessary at the boundaries of the viewport. Each contour line
is drawn with the current line attributes (color index, style, and
width); except that if argument NC is positive (see below), the line
style is set by PGCONT to 1 (solid) for positive contours or 2
(dashed) for negative contours.
Arguments:
A (input) : data array.
IDIM (input) : first dimension of A.
JDIM (input) : second dimension of A.
I1, I2 (input) : range of first index to be contoured (inclusive).
J1, J2 (input) : range of second index to be contoured (inclusive).
C (input) : array of NC contour levels; dimension at least NC.
NC (input) : +/- number of contour levels (less than or equal
to dimension of C). If NC is positive, it is the
number of contour levels, and the line-style is
chosen automatically as described above. If NC is
negative, it is minus the number of contour
levels, and the current setting of line-style is
used for all the contours.
TR (input) : array defining a transformation between the I,J
grid of the array and the world coordinates.
The world coordinates of the array point A(I,J)
are given by:
X = TR(1) + TR(2)*I + TR(3)*J
Y = TR(4) + TR(5)*I + TR(6)*J
Usually TR(3) and TR(5) are zero - unless the
coordinate transformation involves a rotation or
shear.
Use the given color table to change the color representations of
all color indexes marked for use by PGIMAG. To change which
color indexes are thus marked, call PGSCIR before calling PGCTAB
or PGIMAG. On devices that can change the color representations
of previously plotted graphics, PGCTAB will also change the colors
of existing graphics that were plotted with the marked color
indexes. This feature can then be combined with PGBAND to
interactively manipulate the displayed colors of data previously
plotted with PGIMAG.
Limitations:
1. Some devices do not propagate color representation changes
to previously drawn graphics.
2. Some devices ignore requests to change color representations.
3. The appearance of specific color representations on grey-scale
devices is device-dependent.
Notes:
To reverse the sense of a color table, change the chosen contrast
and brightness to -CONTRA and 1-BRIGHT.
In the following, the term 'color table' refers to the input
L,R,G,B arrays, whereas 'color ramp' refers to the resulting
ramp of colors that would be seen with PGWEDG.
Arguments:
L (input) : An array of NC normalized ramp-intensity levels
corresponding to the RGB primary color intensities
in R(),G(),B(). Colors on the ramp are linearly
interpolated from neighbouring levels.
Levels must be sorted in increasing order.
0.0 places a color at the beginning of the ramp.
1.0 places a color at the end of the ramp.
Colors outside these limits are legal, but will
not be visible if CONTRA=1.0 and BRIGHT=0.5.
R (input) : An array of NC normalized red intensities.
G (input) : An array of NC normalized green intensities.
B (input) : An array of NC normalized blue intensities.
NC (input) : The number of color table entries.
CONTRA (input) : The contrast of the color ramp (normally 1.0).
Negative values reverse the direction of the ramp.
BRIGHT (input) : The brightness of the color ramp. This is normally
0.5, but can sensibly hold any value between 0.0
and 1.0. Values at or beyond the latter two
extremes, saturate the color ramp with the colors
of the respective end of the color table.
pgdraw( x, y )
Draw a line from the current pen position to the point
with world-coordinates (X,Y). The line is clipped at the edge of the
current window. The new pen position is (X,Y) in world coordinates.
Arguments:
X (input) : world x-coordinate of the end point of the line.
Y (input) : world y-coordinate of the end point of the line.
pgebuf
A call to PGEBUF marks the end of a batch of graphical output begun
with the last call of PGBBUF. PGBBUF and PGEBUF calls should always
be paired. Each call to PGBBUF increments a counter, while each call
to PGEBUF decrements the counter. When the counter reaches 0, the
batch of output is written on the output device.
Arguments: none
pgend
Close and release any open graphics devices. All devices must be
closed by calling either PGCLOS (for each device) or PGEND before
the program terminates. If a device is not closed properly, some
or all of the graphical output may be lost.
Arguments: none
Set PGPLOT "Plotter Environment". PGENV establishes the scaling
for subsequent calls to PGPT, PGLINE, etc. The plotter is
advanced to a new page or panel, clearing the screen if necessary.
If the "prompt state" is ON (see PGASK), confirmation
is requested from the user before clearing the screen.
If requested, a box, axes, labels, etc. are drawn according to
the setting of argument AXIS.
Arguments:
XMIN (input) : the world x-coordinate at the bottom left corner
of the viewport.
XMAX (input) : the world x-coordinate at the top right corner
of the viewport (note XMAX may be less than XMIN).
YMIN (input) : the world y-coordinate at the bottom left corner
of the viewport.
YMAX (input) : the world y-coordinate at the top right corner
of the viewport (note YMAX may be less than YMIN).
JUST (input) : if JUST=1, the scales of the x and y axes (in
world coordinates per inch) will be equal,
otherwise they will be scaled independently.
AXIS (input) : controls the plotting of axes, tick marks, etc:
AXIS = -2 : draw no box, axes or labels;
AXIS = -1 : draw box only;
AXIS = 0 : draw box and label it with coordinates;
AXIS = 1 : same as AXIS=0, but also draw the
coordinate axes (X=0, Y=0);
AXIS = 2 : same as AXIS=1, but also draw grid lines
at major increments of the coordinates;
AXIS = 10 : draw box and label X-axis logarithmically;
AXIS = 20 : draw box and label Y-axis logarithmically;
AXIS = 30 : draw box and label both axes logarithmically.
For other axis options, use routine PGBOX. PGENV can be persuaded to
call PGBOX with additional axis options by defining an environment
parameter PGPLOT_ENVOPT containing the required option codes.
Examples:
PGPLOT_ENVOPT=P ! draw Projecting tick marks
PGPLOT_ENVOPT=I ! Invert the tick marks
PGPLOT_ENVOPT=IV ! Invert tick marks and label y Vertically
pgeras
Erase all graphics from the current page (or current panel, if
the view surface has been divided into panels with PGSUBP).
Arguments: none
pgerr1( dir, x, y, e, t )

pgetxt
Some graphics terminals display text (the normal interactive dialog)
on the same screen as graphics. This routine erases the text from the
view surface without affecting the graphics. It does nothing on
devices which do not display text on the graphics screen, and on
devices which do not have this capability.
Arguments:
None
Draw gray-scale map of an array in current window. The subsection
of the array A defined by indices (I1:I2, J1:J2) is mapped onto
the view surface world-coordinate system by the transformation
matrix TR. The resulting quadrilateral region is clipped at the edge
of the window and shaded with the shade at each point determined
by the corresponding array value. The shade is a number in the
range 0 to 1 obtained by linear interpolation between the background
level (BG) and the foreground level (FG), i.e.,
shade = [A(i,j) - BG] / [FG - BG]
The background level BG can be either less than or greater than the
foreground level FG. Points in the array that are outside the range
BG to FG are assigned shade 0 or 1 as appropriate.
PGGRAY uses two different algorithms, depending how many color
indices are available in the color index range specified for images.
(This range is set with routine PGSCIR, and the current or default
range can be queried by calling routine PGQCIR).
If 16 or more color indices are available, PGGRAY first assigns
color representations to these color indices to give a linear ramp
between the background color (color index 0) and the foreground color
(color index 1), and then calls PGIMAG to draw the image using these
color indices. In this mode, the shaded region is "opaque": every
pixel is assigned a color.
If less than 16 color indices are available, PGGRAY uses only
color index 1, and uses a "dithering" algorithm to fill in pixels,
with the shade (computed as above) determining the faction of pixels
that are filled. In this mode the shaded region is "transparent" and
allows previously-drawn graphics to show through.
The transformation matrix TR is used to calculate the world
coordinates of the center of the "cell" that represents each
array element. The world coordinates of the center of the cell
corresponding to array element A(I,J) are given by:
X = TR(1) + TR(2)*I + TR(3)*J
Y = TR(4) + TR(5)*I + TR(6)*J
Usually TR(3) and TR(5) are zero -- unless the coordinate
transformation involves a rotation or shear. The corners of the
quadrilateral region that is shaded by PGGRAY are given by
applying this transformation to (I1-0.5,J1-0.5), (I2+0.5, J2+0.5).
Arguments:
A (input) : the array to be plotted.
IDIM (input) : the first dimension of array A.
JDIM (input) : the second dimension of array A.
I1, I2 (input) : the inclusive range of the first index
(I) to be plotted.
J1, J2 (input) : the inclusive range of the second
index (J) to be plotted.
FG (input) : the array value which is to appear with the
foreground color (corresponding to color index 1).
BG (input) : the array value which is to appear with the
background color (corresponding to color index 0).
TR (input) : transformation matrix between array grid and
world coordinates.
Draw a histogram of N values of a variable in array
DATA(1...N) in the range DATMIN to DATMAX using NBIN bins. Note
that array elements which fall exactly on the boundary between
two bins will be counted in the higher bin rather than the
lower one; and array elements whose value is less than DATMIN or
greater than or equal to DATMAX will not be counted at all.
Arguments:
N (input) : the number of data values.
DATA (input) : the data values. Note: the dimension of array
DATA must be greater than or equal to N. The
first N elements of the array are used.
DATMIN (input) : the minimum data value for the histogram.
DATMAX (input) : the maximum data value for the histogram.
NBIN (input) : the number of bins to use: the range DATMIN to
DATMAX is divided into NBIN equal bins and
the number of DATA values in each bin is
determined by PGHIST. NBIN may not exceed 200.
PGFLAG (input) : if PGFLAG = 1, the histogram is plotted in the
current window and viewport; if PGFLAG = 0,
PGENV is called automatically by PGHIST to start
a new plot (the x-limits of the window will be
DATMIN and DATMAX; the y-limits will be chosen
automatically.
IF PGFLAG = 2,3 the histogram will be in the same
window and viewport but with a filled area style.
If pgflag=4,5 as for pgflag = 0,1, but simple
line drawn as for PGBIN
pgiden
Write username, date, and time at bottom of plot.
Arguments: none.
Draw a color image of an array in current window. The subsection
of the array A defined by indices (I1:I2, J1:J2) is mapped onto
the view surface world-coordinate system by the transformation
matrix TR. The resulting quadrilateral region is clipped at the edge
of the window. Each element of the array is represented in the image
by a small quadrilateral, which is filled with a color specified by
the corresponding array value.
The subroutine uses color indices in the range C1 to C2, which can
be specified by calling PGSCIR before PGIMAG. The default values
for C1 and C2 are device-dependent; these values can be determined by
calling PGQCIR. Note that color representations should be assigned to
color indices C1 to C2 by calling PGSCR before calling PGIMAG. On some
devices (but not all), the color representation can be changed after
the call to PGIMAG by calling PGSCR again.
Array values in the range A1 to A2 are mapped on to the range of
color indices C1 to C2, with array values <= A1 being given color
index C1 and values >= A2 being given color index C2. The mapping
function for intermediate array values can be specified by
calling routine PGSITF before PGIMAG; the default is linear.
On devices which have no available color indices (C1 > C2),
PGIMAG will return without doing anything. On devices with only
one color index (C1=C2), all array values map to the same color
which is rather uninteresting. An image is always "opaque",
i.e., it obscures all graphical elements previously drawn in
the region.
The transformation matrix TR is used to calculate the world
coordinates of the center of the "cell" that represents each
array element. The world coordinates of the center of the cell
corresponding to array element A(I,J) are given by:
X = TR(1) + TR(2)*I + TR(3)*J
Y = TR(4) + TR(5)*I + TR(6)*J
Usually TR(3) and TR(5) are zero -- unless the coordinate
transformation involves a rotation or shear. The corners of the
quadrilateral region that is shaded by PGIMAG are given by
applying this transformation to (I1-0.5,J1-0.5), (I2+0.5, J2+0.5).
Arguments:
A (input) : the array to be plotted.
IDIM (input) : the first dimension of array A.
JDIM (input) : the second dimension of array A.
I1, I2 (input) : the inclusive range of the first index
(I) to be plotted.
J1, J2 (input) : the inclusive range of the second
index (J) to be plotted.
A1 (input) : the array value which is to appear with shade C1.
A2 (input) : the array value which is to appear with shade C2.
TR (input) : transformation matrix between array grid and
world coordinates.
pglab( xlbl, ylbl, toplbl )
Write labels outside the viewport. This routine is a simple
interface to PGMTXT, which should be used if PGLAB is inadequate.
Arguments:
XLBL (input) : a label for the x-axis (centered below the
viewport).
YLBL (input) : a label for the y-axis (centered to the left
of the viewport, drawn vertically).
TOPLBL (input) : a label for the entire plot (centered above the
viewport).
pgldev
Writes (to standard output) a list of all device types available in
the current PGPLOT installation.
Arguments: none.
Primitive routine to draw a Polyline. A polyline is one or more
connected straight-line segments. The polyline is drawn using
the current setting of attributes color-index, line-style, and
line-width. The polyline is clipped at the edge of the window.
Arguments:
N (input) : number of points defining the line; the line
consists of (N-1) straight-line segments.
N should be greater than 1 (if it is 1 or less,
nothing will be drawn).
XPTS (input) : world x-coordinates of the points.
YPTS (input) : world y-coordinates of the points.
The dimension of arrays X and Y must be greater than or equal to N.
The "pen position" is changed to (X(N),Y(N)) in world coordinates
(if N > 1).
pgmove( x, y )
Primitive routine to move the "pen" to the point with world
coordinates (X,Y). No line is drawn.
Arguments:
X (input) : world x-coordinate of the new pen position.
Y (input) : world y-coordinate of the new pen position.
pgmtxt( side, disp, coord, fjust, text )
Write text at a position specified relative to the viewport (outside
or inside). This routine is useful for annotating graphs. It is used
by routine PGLAB. The text is written using the current values of
attributes color-index, line-width, character-height, and
character-font.
Arguments:
SIDE (input) : must include one of the characters 'B', 'L', 'T',
or 'R' signifying the Bottom, Left, Top, or Right
margin of the viewport. If it includes 'LV' or
'RV', the string is written perpendicular to the
frame rather than parallel to it.
DISP (input) : the displacement of the character string from the
specified edge of the viewport, measured outwards
from the viewport in units of the character
height. Use a negative value to write inside the
viewport, a positive value to write outside.
COORD (input) : the location of the character string along the
specified edge of the viewport, as a fraction of
the length of the edge.
FJUST (input) : controls justification of the string parallel to
the specified edge of the viewport. If
FJUST = 0.0, the left-hand end of the string will
be placed at COORD; if JUST = 0.5, the center of
the string will be placed at COORD; if JUST = 1.0,
the right-hand end of the string will be placed at
at COORD. Other values between 0 and 1 give inter-
mediate placing, but they are not very useful.
TEXT (input) : the text string to be plotted. Trailing spaces are
ignored when justifying the string, but leading
spaces are significant.
Open a graphics device for PGPLOT output. If the device is
opened successfully, it becomes the selected device to which
graphics output is directed until another device is selected
with PGSLCT or the device is closed with PGCLOS.
The value returned by PGOPEN should be tested to ensure that
the device was opened successfully, e.g.,
ISTAT = PGOPEN('plot.ps/PS')
IF (ISTAT .LE. 0 ) STOP
Note that PGOPEN must be declared INTEGER in the calling program.
The DEVICE argument is a character constant or variable; its value
should be one of the following:
(1) A complete device specification of the form 'device/type' or
'file/type', where 'type' is one of the allowed PGPLOT device
types (installation-dependent) and 'device' or 'file' is the
name of a graphics device or disk file appropriate for this type.
The 'device' or 'file' may contain '/' characters; the final
'/' delimits the 'type'. If necessary to avoid ambiguity,
the 'device' part of the string may be enclosed in double
quotation marks.
(2) A device specification of the form '/type', where 'type' is one
of the allowed PGPLOT device types. PGPLOT supplies a default
file or device name appropriate for this device type.
(3) A device specification with '/type' omitted; in this case
the type is taken from the environment variable PGPLOT_TYPE,
if defined (e.g., setenv PGPLOT_TYPE PS). Because of possible
confusion with '/' in file-names, omitting the device type
in this way is not recommended.
(4) A blank string (' '); in this case, PGOPEN will use the value
of environment variable PGPLOT_DEV as the device specification,
or '/NULL' if the environment variable is undefined.
(5) A single question mark, with optional trailing spaces ('?'); in
this case, PGPLOT will prompt the user to supply the device
specification, with a prompt string of the form
'Graphics device/type (? to see list, default XXX):'
where 'XXX' is the default (value of environment variable
PGPLOT_DEV).
(6) A non-blank string in which the first character is a question
mark (e.g., '?Device: '); in this case, PGPLOT will prompt the
user to supply the device specification, using the supplied
string as the prompt (without the leading question mark but
including any trailing spaces).
In cases (5) and (6), the device specification is read from the
standard input. The user should respond to the prompt with a device
specification of the form (1), (2), or (3). If the user types a
question-mark in response to the prompt, a list of available device
types is displayed and the prompt is re-issued. If the user supplies
an invalid device specification, the prompt is re-issued. If the user
responds with an end-of-file character, e.g., ctrl-D in UNIX, program
execution is aborted; this avoids the possibility of an infinite
prompting loop. A programmer should avoid use of PGPLOT-prompting
if this behavior is not desirable.
The device type is case-insensitive (e.g., '/ps' and '/PS' are
equivalent). The device or file name may be case-sensitive in some
operating systems.
Examples of valid DEVICE arguments:
(1) 'plot.ps/ps', 'dir/plot.ps/ps', '"dir/plot.ps"/ps',
'user:[tjp.plots]plot.ps/PS'
(2) '/ps' (PGPLOT interprets this as 'pgplot.ps/ps')
(3) 'plot.ps' (if PGPLOT_TYPE is defined as 'ps', PGPLOT
interprets this as 'plot.ps/ps')
(4) ' ' (if PGPLOT_DEV is defined)
(5) '? '
(6) '?Device specification for PGPLOT: '
[This routine was added to PGPLOT in Version 5.1.0. Older programs
use PGBEG instead.]
Returns:
PGOPEN : returns either a positive value, the
identifier of the graphics device for use with
PGSLCT, or a 0 or negative value indicating an
error. In the event of error a message is
written on the standard error unit.
Arguments:
DEVICE (input) : the 'device specification' for the plot device
(see above).
pgpage
Advance plotter to a new page or panel, clearing the screen if
necessary. If the "prompt state" is ON (see PGASK), confirmation is
requested from the user before clearing the screen. If the view
surface has been subdivided into panels with PGBEG or PGSUBP, then
PGPAGE advances to the next panel, and if the current panel is the
last on the page, PGPAGE clears the screen or starts a new sheet of
paper. PGPAGE does not change the PGPLOT window or the viewport
(in normalized device coordinates); but note that if the size of the
view-surface is changed externally (e.g., by a workstation window
manager) the size of the viewport is changed in proportion.
Arguments: none
pgpanl( ix, iy )
Start plotting in a different panel. If the view surface has been
divided into panels by PGBEG or PGSUBP, this routine can be used to
move to a different panel. Note that PGPLOT does not remember what
viewport and window were in use in each panel; these should be reset
if necessary after calling PGPANL. Nor does PGPLOT clear the panel:
call PGERAS after calling PGPANL to do this.
Arguments:
IX (input) : the horizontal index of the panel (in the range
1 <= IX <= number of panels in horizontal
direction).
IY (input) : the vertical index of the panel (in the range
1 <= IY <= number of panels in horizontal
direction).
pgpap( width, aspect )
This routine changes the size of the view surface ("paper size") to a
specified width and aspect ratio (height/width), in so far as this is
possible on the specific device. It is always possible to obtain a
view surface smaller than the default size; on some devices (e.g.,
printers that print on roll or fan-feed paper) it is possible to
obtain a view surface larger than the default.
This routine should be called either immediately after PGBEG or
immediately before PGPAGE. The new size applies to all subsequent
images until the next call to PGPAP.
Arguments:
WIDTH (input) : the requested width of the view surface in inches;
if WIDTH=0.0, PGPAP will obtain the largest view
surface available consistent with argument ASPECT.
(1 inch = 25.4 mm.)
ASPECT (input) : the aspect ratio (height/width) of the view
surface; e.g., ASPECT=1.0 gives a square view
surface, ASPECT=0.618 gives a horizontal
rectangle, ASPECT=1.618 gives a vertical rectangle.
Draw Graph Markers. Unlike PGPT, this routine can draw a different
symbol at each point. The markers are drawn using the current values
of attributes color-index, line-width, and character-height
(character-font applies if the symbol number is >31). If the point
to be marked lies outside the window, no marker is drawn. The "pen
position" is changed to (XPTS(N),YPTS(N)) in world coordinates
(if N > 0).
Arguments:
N (input) : number of points to mark.
X (input) : world x-coordinate of the points.
Y (input) : world y-coordinate of the points.
SYMBOL (input) : code number of the symbol to be plotted at each
point (see PGPT).
NS (input) : number of values in the SYMBOL array. If NS <= N,
then the first NS points are drawn using the value
of SYMBOL(I) at (X(I), Y(I)) and SYMBOL(1) for all
the values of (X(I), Y(I)) where I > NS.
Note: the dimension of arrays X and Y must be greater than or equal
to N and the dimension of the array SYMBOL must be greater than or
equal to NS. If N is 1, X and Y may be scalars (constants or
variables). If NS is 1, then SYMBOL may be a scalar. If N is
less than 1, nothing is drawn.
Fill-area primitive routine: shade the interior of a closed
polygon in the current window. The action of this routine depends
on the setting of the Fill-Area Style attribute (see PGSFS).
The polygon is clipped at the edge of the
window. The pen position is changed to (XPTS(1),YPTS(1)) in world
coordinates (if N > 1). If the polygon is not convex, a point is
assumed to lie inside the polygon if a straight line drawn to
infinity intersects and odd number of the polygon's edges.
Arguments:
N (input) : number of points defining the polygon; the
line consists of N straight-line segments,
joining points 1 to 2, 2 to 3,... N-1 to N, N to 1.
N should be greater than 2 (if it is 2 or less,
nothing will be drawn).
XPTS (input) : world x-coordinates of the vertices.
YPTS (input) : world y-coordinates of the vertices.
Note: the dimension of arrays XPTS and YPTS must be
greater than or equal to N.
Primitive routine to draw Graph Markers (polymarker). The markers
are drawn using the current values of attributes color-index,
line-width, and character-height (character-font applies if the symbol
number is >31). If the point to be marked lies outside the window,
no marker is drawn. The "pen position" is changed to
(XPTS(N),YPTS(N)) in world coordinates (if N > 0).
Arguments:
N (input) : number of points to mark.
XPTS (input) : world x-coordinates of the points.
YPTS (input) : world y-coordinates of the points.
SYMBOL (input) : code number of the symbol to be drawn at each
point:
-1, -2 : a single dot (diameter = current
line width).
-3..-31 : a regular polygon with ABS(SYMBOL)
edges (style set by current fill style).
0..31 : standard marker symbols.
32..127 : ASCII characters (in current font).
e.g. to use letter F as a marker, let
SYMBOL = ICHAR('F').
> 127 : a Hershey symbol number.
Note: the dimension of arrays X and Y must be greater than or equal
to N. If N is 1, X and Y may be scalars (constants or variables). If
N is less than 1, nothing is drawn.
pgpt1( xpt, ypt, symbol )
Primitive routine to draw a single Graph Marker at a specified point.
The marker is drawn using the current values of attributes
color-index, line-width, and character-height (character-font applies
if the symbol number is >31). If the point to be marked lies outside
the window, no marker is drawn. The "pen position" is changed to
(XPT,YPT) in world coordinates.
To draw several markers with coordinates specified by X and Y
arrays, use routine PGPT.
Arguments:
XPT (input) : world x-coordinate of the point.
YPT (input) : world y-coordinate of the point.
SYMBOL (input) : code number of the symbol to be drawn:
-1, -2 : a single dot (diameter = current
line width).
-3..-31 : a regular polygon with ABS(SYMBOL)
edges (style set by current fill style).
0..31 : standard marker symbols.
32..127 : ASCII characters (in current font).
e.g. to use letter F as a marker, let
SYMBOL = ICHAR('F').
> 127 : a Hershey symbol number.
pgptxt( x, y, angle, fjust, text )
Primitive routine for drawing text. The text may be drawn at any
angle with the horizontal, and may be centered or left- or right-
justified at a specified position. Routine PGTEXT provides a
simple interface to PGPTXT for horizontal strings. Text is drawn
using the current values of attributes color-index, line-width,
character-height, and character-font. Text is NOT subject to
clipping at the edge of the window.
Arguments:
X (input) : world x-coordinate.
Y (input) : world y-coordinate. The string is drawn with the
baseline of all the characters passing through
point (X,Y); the positioning of the string along
this line is controlled by argument FJUST.
ANGLE (input) : angle, in degrees, that the baseline is to make
with the horizontal, increasing counter-clockwise
(0.0 is horizontal).
FJUST (input) : controls horizontal justification of the string.
If FJUST = 0.0, the string will be left-justified
at the point (X,Y); if FJUST = 0.5, it will be
centered, and if FJUST = 1.0, it will be right
justified. [Other values of FJUST give other
justifications.]
TEXT (input) : the character string to be plotted.

either 0 if the device can write in the
background color, or 1 if not.
CI2 (output) : the maximum available color index. This will be
1 if the device has no color capability, or a
larger number (e.g., 3, 7, 15, 255).
pgqcr( ci ) #=> cr, cg, cb
Query the RGB colors associated with a color index.
Arguments:
CI (input) : color index
CR (output) : red, green and blue intensities
CG (output) in the range 0.0 to 1.0
CB (output)
Return the name of the Nth available device type as a character
string. The number of available types can be determined by calling
PGQNDT. If the value of N supplied is outside the range from 1 to
the number of available types, the routine returns DLEN=TLEN=0.
Arguments:
N (input) : the number of the device type (1..maximum).

Nth device type. The argument supplied should be
large enough for at least 8 characters. The first
character in the string is a '/' character.

FS = 1 => solid (default)
FS = 2 => outline
FS = 3 => hatched
FS = 4 => cross-hatched
pgqid #=> id
This subroutine returns the identifier of the currently
selected device, or 0 if no device is selected. The identifier is
assigned when PGOPEN is called to open the device, and may be used
as an argument to PGSLCT. Each open device has a different
identifier.
[This routine was added to PGPLOT in Version 5.1.0.]
Argument:
ID (output) : the identifier of the current device, or 0 if
no device is currently selected.
This routine can be used to obtain miscellaneous information about
the PGPLOT environment. Input is a character string defining the
information required, and output is a character string containing the
requested information.
The following item codes are accepted (note that the strings must
match exactly, except for case, but only the first 8 characters are
significant). For items marked *, PGPLOT must be in the OPEN state
for the inquiry to succeed. If the inquiry is unsuccessful, either
because the item code is not recognized or because the information
is not available, a question mark ('?') is returned.
'VERSION' - version of PGPLOT software in use.
'STATE' - status of PGPLOT ('OPEN' if a graphics device
is open for output, 'CLOSED' otherwise).
'USER' - the username associated with the calling program.
'NOW' - current date and time (e.g., '17-FEB-1986 10:04').
'DEVICE' * - current PGPLOT device or file.
'FILE' * - current PGPLOT device or file.
'TYPE' * - device-type of the current PGPLOT device.
'DEV/TYPE' * - current PGPLOT device and type, in a form which
is acceptable as an argument for PGBEG.
'HARDCOPY' * - is the current device a hardcopy device? ('YES' or
'NO').
'TERMINAL' * - is the current device the user's interactive
terminal? ('YES' or 'NO').
'CURSOR' * - does the current device have a graphics cursor?
('YES' or 'NO').
'SCROLL' * - does current device have rectangle-scroll
capability ('YES' or 'NO'); see PGSCRL.
Arguments:
ITEM (input) : character string defining the information to
be returned; see above for a list of possible
values.
VALUE (output) : returns a character-string containing the
requested information, truncated to the length
of the supplied string or padded on the right with
spaces if necessary.
LENGTH (output): the number of characters returned in VALUE
(excluding trailing blanks).
pgqitf #=> itf

pgqls #=> ls
Query the current Line Style attribute (set by routine PGSLS).
Argument:
LS (output) : the current line-style attribute (in range 1-5).
pgqlw #=> lw
Query the current Line-Width attribute (set by routine PGSLW).
Argument:
LW (output) : the line-width (in range 1-201).
pgqndt #=> n
Return the number of available device types. This routine is
usually used in conjunction with PGQDT to get a list of the
available device types.
Arguments:
N (output) : the number of available device types.
pgqpos #=> x, y
Query the current "pen" position in world C coordinates (X,Y).
Arguments:
X (output) : world x-coordinate of the pen position.
Y (output) : world y-coordinate of the pen position.
pgqtbg #=> tbci
Query the current Text Background Color Index (set by routine
PGSTBG).
Argument:
TBCI (output) : receives the current text background color index.
This routine returns a bounding box for a text string. Instead
of drawing the string as routine PGPTXT does, it returns in XBOX
and YBOX the coordinates of the corners of a rectangle parallel
to the string baseline that just encloses the string. The four
corners are in the order: lower left, upper left, upper right,
lower right (where left and right refer to the first and last
characters in the string).
If the string is blank or contains no drawable characters, all
four elements of XBOX and YBOX are assigned the starting point
of the string, (X,Y).
Arguments:
X, Y, ANGLE, FJUST, TEXT (input) : these arguments are the same as
the corrresponding arguments in PGPTXT.
XBOX, YBOX (output) : arrays of dimension 4; on output, they
contain the world coordinates of the bounding
box in (XBOX(1), YBOX(1)), ..., (XBOX(4), YBOX(4)).
pgqvp( units ) #=> x1, x2, y1, y2
Inquiry routine to determine the current viewport setting.
The values returned may be normalized device coordinates, inches, mm,
or pixels, depending on the value of the input parameter CFLAG.
Arguments:
UNITS (input) : used to specify the units of the output parameters:
UNITS = 0 : normalized device coordinates
UNITS = 1 : inches
UNITS = 2 : millimeters
UNITS = 3 : pixels
Other values give an error message, and are
treated as 0.
X1 (output) : the x-coordinate of the bottom left corner of the
viewport.
X2 (output) : the x-coordinate of the top right corner of the
viewport.
Y1 (output) : the y-coordinate of the bottom left corner of the
viewport.
Y2 (output) : the y-coordinate of the top right corner of the
viewport.
pgqvsz( units ) #=> x1, x2, y1, y2
This routine returns the dimensions of the view surface (the maximum
plottable area) of the currently selected graphics device, in
a variety of units. The size of the view surface is device-dependent
and is established when the graphics device is opened. On some
devices, it can be changed by calling PGPAP before starting a new
page with PGPAGE. On some devices, the size can be changed (e.g.,
by a workstation window manager) outside PGPLOT, and PGPLOT detects
the change when PGPAGE is used. Call this routine after PGPAGE to
find the current size.
Note 1: the width and the height of the view surface in normalized
device coordinates are both always equal to 1.0.
Note 2: when the device is divided into panels (see PGSUBP), the
view surface is a single panel.
Arguments:
UNITS (input) : 0,1,2,3 for output in normalized device coords,
inches, mm, or device units (pixels)
X1 (output) : always returns 0.0
X2 (output) : width of view surface
Y1 (output) : always returns 0.0
Y2 (output) : height of view surface
pgqwin #=> x1, x2, y1, y2
Inquiry routine to determine the current window setting.
The values returned are world coordinates.
Arguments:
X1 (output) : the x-coordinate of the bottom left corner
of the window.
X2 (output) : the x-coordinate of the top right corner
of the window.
Y1 (output) : the y-coordinate of the bottom left corner
of the window.
Y2 (output) : the y-coordinate of the top right corner
of the window.
pgrect( x1, x2, y1, y2 )
This routine can be used instead of PGPOLY for the special case of
drawing a rectangle aligned with the coordinate axes; only two
vertices need be specified instead of four. On most devices, it is
faster to use PGRECT than PGPOLY for drawing rectangles. The
rectangle has vertices at (X1,Y1), (X1,Y2), (X2,Y2), and (X2,Y1).
Arguments:
X1, X2 (input) : the horizontal range of the rectangle.
Y1, Y2 (input) : the vertical range of the rectangle.
pgsah( fs, angle, barb )
Set the style to be used for arrowheads drawn with routine PGARRO.
Argument:
FS (input) : FS = 1 => filled; FS = 2 => outline.
Other values are treated as 2. Default 1.
ANGLE (input) : the acute angle of the arrow point, in degrees;
angles in the range 20.0 to 90.0 give reasonable
results. Default 45.0.
BARB (input) : the fraction of the triangular arrow-head that
is cut away from the back. 0.0 gives a triangular
wedge arrow-head; 1.0 gives an open >. Values 0.3
to 0.7 give reasonable results. Default 0.3.
pgsave
This routine saves the current PGPLOT attributes in a private storage
area. They can be restored by calling PGUNSA (unsave). Attributes
saved are: character font, character height, color index, fill-area
style, line style, line width, pen position, arrow-head style,
hatching style, and clipping state. Color representation is not saved.
Calls to PGSAVE and PGUNSA should always be paired. Up to 20 copies
of the attributes may be saved. PGUNSA always retrieves the last-saved
values (last-in first-out stack).
Note that when multiple devices are in use, PGUNSA retrieves the
values saved by the last PGSAVE call, even if they were for a
different device.
Arguments: none
This routine restores the PGPLOT attributes saved in the last call to
PGSAVE. Usage: CALL PGUNSA (no arguments). See PGSAVE.
Arguments: none
pgscf( font )
Set the Character Font for subsequent text plotting. Four different
fonts are available:
1: (default) a simple single-stroke font ("normal" font)
2: roman font
3: italic font
4: script font
This call determines which font is in effect at the beginning of
each text string. The font can be changed (temporarily) within a text
string by using the escape sequences \fn, \fr, \fi, and \fs for fonts
1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
Argument:
FONT (input) : the font number to be used for subsequent text
plotting (in range 1-4).
pgsch( size )
Set the character size attribute. The size affects all text and graph
markers drawn later in the program. The default character size is
1.0, corresponding to a character height about 1/40 the height of
the view surface. Changing the character size also scales the length
of tick marks drawn by PGBOX and terminals drawn by PGERRX and PGERRY.
Argument:
SIZE (input) : new character size (dimensionless multiple of
the default size).
pgsci( ci )
Set the Color Index for subsequent plotting, if the output device
permits this. The default color index is 1, usually white on a black
background for video displays or black on a white background for
printer plots. The color index is an integer in the range 0 to a
device-dependent maximum. Color index 0 corresponds to the background
color; lines may be "erased" by overwriting them with color index 0
(if the device permits this).
If the requested color index is not available on the selected device,
color index 1 will be substituted.
The assignment of colors to color indices can be changed with
subroutine PGSCR (set color representation). Color indices 0-15
have predefined color representations (see the PGPLOT manual), but
these may be changed with PGSCR. Color indices above 15 have no
predefined representations: if these indices are used, PGSCR must
be called to define the representation.
Argument:
CI (input) : the color index to be used for subsequent plotting
on the current device (in range 0-max). If the
index exceeds the device-dependent maximum, the
default color index (1) is used.
pgscir( icilo, icihi )
Set the color index range to be used for producing images with
PGGRAY or PGIMAG. If the range is not all within the range supported
by the device, a smaller range will be used. The number of
different colors available for images is ICIHI-ICILO+1.
Arguments:
ICILO (input) : the lowest color index to use for images
ICIHI (input) : the highest color index to use for images
pgsclp( state )
Normally all PGPLOT primitives except text are ``clipped'' at the
edge of the viewport: parts of the primitives that lie outside
the viewport are not drawn. If clipping is disabled by calling this
routine, primitives are visible wherever they lie on the view
surface. The default (clipping enabled) is appropriate for almost
all applications.
Argument:
STATE (input) : 0 to disable clipping, or 1 to enable clipping.
25-Feb-1997 [TJP] - new routine.
pgscr( ci, cr, cg, cb )
Set color representation: i.e., define the color to be
associated with a color index. Ignored for devices which do not
support variable color or intensity. Color indices 0-15
have predefined color representations (see the PGPLOT manual), but
these may be changed with PGSCR. Color indices 16-maximum have no
predefined representations: if these indices are used, PGSCR must
be called to define the representation. On monochrome output
devices (e.g. VT125 terminals with monochrome monitors), the
monochrome intensity is computed from the specified Red, Green, Blue
intensities as 0.30*R + 0.59*G + 0.11*B, as in US color television
systems, NTSC encoding. Note that most devices do not have an
infinite range of colors or monochrome intensities available;
the nearest available color is used. Examples: for black,
set CR=CG=CB=0.0; for white, set CR=CG=CB=1.0; for medium gray,
set CR=CG=CB=0.5; for medium yellow, set CR=CG=0.5, CB=0.0.
Argument:
CI (input) : the color index to be defined, in the range 0-max.
If the color index greater than the device
maximum is specified, the call is ignored. Color
index 0 applies to the background color.
CR (input) : red, green, and blue intensities,
CG (input) in range 0.0 to 1.0.
CB (input)
pgscrl( dx, dy )
This routine moves the window in world-coordinate space while
leaving the viewport unchanged. On devices that have the
capability, the pixels within the viewport are scrolled
horizontally, vertically or both in such a way that graphics
previously drawn in the window are shifted so that their world
coordinates are unchanged.
If the old window coordinate range was (X1, X2, Y1, Y2), the new
coordinate range will be approximately (X1+DX, X2+DX, Y1+DY, Y2+DY).
The size and scale of the window are unchanged.
Thee window can only be shifted by a whole number of pixels
(device coordinates). If DX and DY do not correspond to integral
numbers of pixels, the shift will be slightly different from that
requested. The new window-coordinate range, and hence the exact
amount of the shift, can be determined by calling PGQWIN after this
routine.
Pixels that are moved out of the viewport by this operation are
lost completely; they cannot be recovered by scrolling back.
Pixels that are ``scrolled into'' the viewport are filled with
the background color (color index 0).
If the absolute value of DX is bigger than the width of the window,
or the aboslute value of DY is bigger than the height of the window,
the effect will be the same as zeroing all the pixels in the
viewport.
Not all devices have the capability to support this routine.
It is only available on some interactive devices that have discrete
pixels. To determine whether the current device has scroll capability,
call PGQINF.
Arguments:
DX (input) : distance (in world coordinates) to shift the
window horizontally (positive shifts window to the
right and scrolls to the left).
DY (input) : distance (in world coordinates) to shift the
window vertically (positive shifts window up and
scrolls down).
pgscrn( ci, name ) #=> ier
Set color representation: i.e., define the color to be
associated with a color index. Ignored for devices which do not
support variable color or intensity. This is an alternative to
routine PGSCR. The color representation is defined by name instead
of (R,G,B) components.
Color names are defined in an external file which is read the first
time that PGSCRN is called. The name of the external file is
found as follows:
1. if environment variable (logical name) PGPLOT_RGB is defined,
its value is used as the file name;
2. otherwise, if environment variable PGPLOT_DIR is defined, a
file "rgb.txt" in the directory named by this environment
variable is used;
3. otherwise, file "rgb.txt" in the current directory is used.
If all of these fail to find a file, an error is reported and
the routine does nothing.
Each line of the file
defines one color, with four blank- or tab-separated fields per
line. The first three fields are the R, G, B components, which
are integers in the range 0 (zero intensity) to 255 (maximum
intensity). The fourth field is the color name. The color name
may include embedded blanks. Example:
255 0 0 red
255 105 180 hot pink
255 255 255 white
0 0 0 black
Arguments:
CI (input) : the color index to be defined, in the range 0-max.
If the color index greater than the device
maximum is specified, the call is ignored. Color
index 0 applies to the background color.
NAME (input) : the name of the color to be associated with
this color index. This name must be in the
external file. The names are not case-sensitive.
If the color is not listed in the file, the
color representation is not changed.
IER (output) : returns 0 if the routine was successful, 1
if an error occurred (either the external file
could not be read, or the requested color was
not defined in the file).
pgsfs( fs )
Set the Fill-Area Style attribute for subsequent area-fill by
PGPOLY, PGRECT, or PGCIRC. Four different styles are available:
solid (fill polygon with solid color of the current color-index),
outline (draw outline of polygon only, using current line attributes),
hatched (shade interior of polygon with parallel lines, using
current line attributes), or cross-hatched. The orientation and
spacing of hatch lines can be specified with routine PGSHS (set
hatch style).
Argument:
FS (input) : the fill-area style to be used for subsequent
plotting:
FS = 1 => solid (default)
FS = 2 => outline
FS = 3 => hatched
FS = 4 => cross-hatched
Other values give an error message and are
treated as 2.
pgshls( ci, ch, cl, cs )
Set color representation: i.e., define the color to be
associated with a color index. This routine is equivalent to
PGSCR, but the color is defined in the Hue-Lightness-Saturation
model instead of the Red-Green-Blue model. Hue is represented
by an angle in degrees, with red at 120, green at 240,
and blue at 0 (or 360). Lightness ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, with black
at lightness 0.0 and white at lightness 1.0. Saturation ranges from
0.0 (gray) to 1.0 (pure color). Hue is irrelevant when saturation
is 0.0.
Examples: H L S R G B
black any 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
white any 1.0 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
medium gray any 0.5 0.0 0.5 0.5 0.5
red 120 0.5 1.0 1.0 0.0 0.0
yellow 180 0.5 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.0
pink 120 0.7 0.8 0.94 0.46 0.46

Computing Machinery, New York, NY, 1979. See also: J. D. Foley et al,
``Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice'', second edition,
Addison-Wesley, 1990, section 13.3.5.
Argument:
CI (input) : the color index to be defined, in the range 0-max.
If the color index greater than the device
maximum is specified, the call is ignored. Color
index 0 applies to the background color.
CH (input) : hue, in range 0.0 to 360.0.
CL (input) : lightness, in range 0.0 to 1.0.
CS (input) : saturation, in range 0.0 to 1.0.
pgshs( angle, sepn, phase )
Set the style to be used for hatching (fill area with fill-style 3).
The default style is ANGLE=45.0, SEPN=1.0, PHASE=0.0.
Arguments:
ANGLE (input) : the angle the hatch lines make with the
horizontal, in degrees, increasing
counterclockwise (this is an angle on the
view surface, not in world-coordinate space).
SEPN (input) : the spacing of the hatch lines. The unit spacing
is 1 percent of the smaller of the height or
width of the view surface. This should not be
zero.
PHASE (input) : a real number between 0 and 1; the hatch lines
are displaced by this fraction of SEPN from a
fixed reference. Adjacent regions hatched with the
same PHASE have contiguous hatch lines. To hatch
a region with alternating lines of two colors,
fill the area twice, with PHASE=0.0 for one color
and PHASE=0.5 for the other color.
pgsitf( itf )
Set the Image Transfer Function for subsequent images drawn by
PGIMAG, PGGRAY, or PGWEDG. The Image Transfer Function is used
to map array values into the available range of color indices
specified with routine PGSCIR or (for PGGRAY on some devices)
into dot density.
Argument:
ITF (input) : type of transfer function:
ITF = 0 : linear
ITF = 1 : logarithmic
ITF = 2 : square-root
pgslct( id )
Select one of the open graphics devices and direct subsequent
plotting to it. The argument is the device identifier returned by
PGOPEN when the device was opened. If the supplied argument is not a
valid identifier of an open graphics device, a warning message is
issued and the current selection is unchanged.
[This routine was added to PGPLOT in Version 5.1.0.]
Arguments:
ID (input, integer): identifier of the device to be selected.
pgsls( ls )
Set the line style attribute for subsequent plotting. This
attribute affects line primitives only; it does not affect graph
markers, text, or area fill.
Five different line styles are available, with the following codes:
1 (full line), 2 (dashed), 3 (dot-dash-dot-dash), 4 (dotted),
5 (dash-dot-dot-dot). The default is 1 (normal full line).
Argument:
LS (input) : the line-style code for subsequent plotting
(in range 1-5).
pgslw( lw )
Set the line-width attribute. This attribute affects lines, graph
markers, and text. The line width is specified in units of 1/200
(0.005) inch (about 0.13 mm) and must be an integer in the range
1-201. On some devices, thick lines are generated by tracing each
line with multiple strokes offset in the direction perpendicular to
the line.
Argument:
LW (input) : width of line, in units of 0.005 inch (0.13 mm)
in range 1-201.
pgstbg( tbci )
Set the Text Background Color Index for subsequent text. By default
text does not obscure underlying graphics. If the text background
color index is positive, however, text is opaque: the bounding box
of the text is filled with the color specified by PGSTBG before
drawing the text characters in the current color index set by PGSCI.
Use color index 0 to erase underlying graphics before drawing text.
Argument:
TBCI (input) : the color index to be used for the background
for subsequent text plotting:
TBCI < 0 => transparent (default)
TBCI >= 0 => text will be drawn on an opaque
background with color index TBCI.
pgsubp( nxsub, nysub )
PGPLOT divides the physical surface of the plotting device (screen,
window, or sheet of paper) into NXSUB x NYSUB `panels'. When the
view surface is sub-divided in this way, PGPAGE moves to the next
panel, not the next physical page. The initial subdivision of the
view surface is set in the call to PGBEG. When PGSUBP is called,
it forces the next call to PGPAGE to start a new physical page,
subdivided in the manner indicated. No plotting should be done
between a call of PGSUBP and a call of PGPAGE (or PGENV, which calls
PGPAGE).
If NXSUB > 0, PGPLOT uses the panels in row order; if <0,
PGPLOT uses them in column order, e.g.,
NXSUB=3, NYSUB=2 NXSUB=-3, NYSUB=2
+-----+-----+-----+ +-----+-----+-----+
| 1 | 2 | 3 | | 1 | 3 | 5 |
+-----+-----+-----+ +-----+-----+-----+
| 4 | 5 | 6 | | 2 | 4 | 6 |
+-----+-----+-----+ +-----+-----+-----+
PGPLOT advances from one panels to the next when PGPAGE is called,
clearing the screen or starting a new page when the last panel has
been used. It is also possible to jump from one panel to another
in random order by calling PGPANL.
Arguments:
NXSUB (input) : the number of subdivisions of the view surface in
X (>0 or <0).
NYSUB (input) : the number of subdivisions of the view surface in
Y (>0).
pgsvp( xleft, xright, ybot, ytop )
Change the size and position of the viewport, specifying
the viewport in normalized device coordinates. Normalized
device coordinates run from 0 to 1 in each dimension. The
viewport is the rectangle on the view surface "through"
which one views the graph. All the PG routines which plot lines
etc. plot them within the viewport, and lines are truncated at
the edge of the viewport (except for axes, labels etc drawn with
PGBOX or PGLAB). The region of world space (the coordinate
space of the graph) which is visible through the viewport is
specified by a call to PGSWIN. It is legal to request a
viewport larger than the view surface; only the part which
appears on the view surface will be plotted.
Arguments:
XLEFT (input) : x-coordinate of left hand edge of viewport, in NDC.
XRIGHT (input) : x-coordinate of right hand edge of viewport,
in NDC.
YBOT (input) : y-coordinate of bottom edge of viewport, in NDC.
YTOP (input) : y-coordinate of top edge of viewport, in NDC.
pgswin( x1, x2, y1, y2 )
Change the window in world coordinate space that is to be mapped on
to the viewport. Usually PGSWIN is called automatically by PGENV,
but it may be called directly by the user.
Arguments:
X1 (input) : the x-coordinate of the bottom left corner
of the viewport.
X2 (input) : the x-coordinate of the top right corner
of the viewport (note X2 may be less than X1).
Y1 (input) : the y-coordinate of the bottom left corner
of the viewport.
Y2 (input) : the y-coordinate of the top right corner
of the viewport (note Y2 may be less than Y1).
pgtbox( xopt, xtick, nxsub, yopt, ytick, nysub )
Draw a box and optionally label one or both axes with (DD) HH MM SS
style numeric labels (useful for time or RA - DEC plots). If this
style of labelling is desired, then PGSWIN should have been called
previously with the extrema in SECONDS of time.
In the seconds field, you can have at most 3 places after the decimal
point, so that 1 ms is the smallest time interval you can time label.
Large numbers are coped with by fields of 6 characters long. Thus
you could have times with days or hours as big as 999999. However,
in practice, you might have trouble with labels overwriting themselves
with such large numbers unless you a) use a small time INTERVAL,
b) use a small character size or c) choose your own sparse ticks in
the call to PGTBOX.
PGTBOX will attempt, when choosing its own ticks, not to overwrite
the labels, but this algorithm is not very bright and may fail.
Note that small intervals but large absolute times such as
TMIN = 200000.0 s and TMAX=200000.1 s will cause the algorithm
to fail. This is inherent in PGPLOT's use of single precision
and cannot be avoided. In such cases, you should use relative
times if possible.
PGTBOX's labelling philosophy is that the left-most or bottom tick of
the axis contains a full label. Thereafter, only changing fields are
labelled. Negative fields are given a '-' label, positive fields
have none. Axes that have the DD (or HH if the day field is not
used) field on each major tick carry the sign on each field. If the
axis crosses zero, the zero tick will carry a full label and sign.
This labelling style can cause a little confusion with some special
cases, but as long as you know its philosophy, the truth can be divined.
Consider an axis with TMIN=20s, TMAX=-20s. The labels will look like
+----------+----------+----------+----------+
0h0m20s 10s -0h0m0s 10s 20s
Knowing that the left field always has a full label and that
positive fields are unsigned, informs that time is decreasing
from left to right, not vice versa. This can become very
unclear if you have used the 'F' option, but that is your problem !
Exceptions to this labelling philosophy are when the finest time
increment being displayed is hours (with option 'Y') or days.
Then all fields carry a label. For example,
+----------+----------+----------+----------+
-10h -8h -6h -4h -2h
PGTBOX can be used in place of PGBOX; it calls PGBOX and only invokes
time labelling if requested. Other options are passed intact to PGBOX.
Inputs:
XOPT : X-options for PGTBOX. Same as for PGBOX plus
'Z' for (DD) HH MM SS.S time labelling
'Y' means don't include the day field so that labels
are HH MM SS.S rather than DD HH MM SS.S The hours
will accumulate beyond 24 if necessary in this case.
'X' label the HH field as modulo 24. Thus, a label
such as 25h 10m would come out as 1h 10m
'H' means superscript numbers with d, h, m, & s symbols
'D' means superscript numbers with o, ', & '' symbols
'F' causes the first label (left- or bottom-most) to
be omitted. Useful for sub-panels that abut each other.
Care is needed because first label carries sign as well.
'O' means omit leading zeros in numbers < 10
E.g. 3h 3m 1.2s rather than 03h 03m 01.2s Useful
to help save space on X-axes. The day field does not
use this facility.
YOPT : Y-options for PGTBOX. See above.
XTICK : X-axis major tick increment. 0.0 for default.
YTICK : Y-axis major tick increment. 0.0 for default.
If the 'Z' option is used then XTICK and/or YTICK must
be in seconds.
NXSUB : Number of intervals for minor ticks on X-axis. 0 for default
NYSUB : Number of intervals for minor ticks on Y-axis. 0 for default
The regular XOPT and YOPT axis options for PGBOX are
A : draw Axis (X axis is horizontal line Y=0, Y axis is vertical
line X=0).
B : draw bottom (X) or left (Y) edge of frame.
C : draw top (X) or right (Y) edge of frame.
G : draw Grid of vertical (X) or horizontal (Y) lines.
I : Invert the tick marks; ie draw them outside the viewport
instead of inside.
L : label axis Logarithmically (see below).
N : write Numeric labels in the conventional location below the
viewport (X) or to the left of the viewport (Y).
P : extend ("Project") major tick marks outside the box (ignored if
option I is specified).
M : write numeric labels in the unconventional location above the
viewport (X) or to the right of the viewport (Y).
T : draw major Tick marks at the major coordinate interval.
S : draw minor tick marks (Subticks).
V : orient numeric labels Vertically. This is only applicable to Y.
The default is to write Y-labels parallel to the axis.
1 : force decimal labelling, instead of automatic choice (see PGNUMB).
2 : force exponential labelling, instead of automatic.
The default is to write Y-labels parallel to the axis
****************** EXCEPTIONS *******************
Note that
1) PGBOX option 'L' (log labels) is ignored with option 'Z'
2) The 'O' option will be ignored for the 'V' option as it
makes it impossible to align the labels nicely
3) Option 'Y' is forced with option 'D'
***************************************************************
pgtext( x, y, text )
Write text. The bottom left corner of the first character is placed
at the specified position, and the text is written horizontally.
This is a simplified interface to the primitive routine PGPTXT.
For non-horizontal text, use PGPTXT.
Arguments:
X (input) : world x-coordinate of start of string.
Y (input) : world y-coordinate of start of string.
TEXT (input) : the character string to be plotted.
Draw and label single tick mark on a graph axis. The tick mark is
a short line perpendicular to the direction of the axis (which is not
drawn by this routine). The optional text label is drawn with its
baseline parallel to the axis and reading in the same direction as
the axis (from point 1 to point 2). Current line and text attributes
are used.
Arguments:
X1, Y1 (input) : world coordinates of one endpoint of the axis.
X2, Y2 (input) : world coordinates of the other endpoint of the axis.
V (input) : draw the tick mark at fraction V (0<=V<=1) along
the line from (X1,Y1) to (X2,Y2).
TIKL (input) : length of tick mark drawn to left of axis
(as seen looking from first endpoint to second), in
units of the character height.
TIKR (input) : length of major tick marks drawn to right of axis,
in units of the character height.
DISP (input) : displacement of label text to
right of axis, in units of the character height.
ORIENT (input) : orientation of label text, in degrees; angle between
baseline of text and direction of axis (0-360°).
STR (input) : text of label (may be blank).
pgupdt
Update the graphics display: flush any pending commands to the
output device. This routine empties the buffer created by PGBBUF,
but it does not alter the PGBBUF/PGEBUF counter. The routine should
be called when it is essential that the display be completely up to
date (before interaction with the user, for example) but it is not
known if output is being buffered.
Arguments: none
Draw a vector map of two arrays. This routine is similar to
PGCONB in that array elements that have the "magic value" defined by
the argument BLANK are ignored, making gaps in the vector map. The
routine may be useful for data measured on most but not all of the
points of a grid. Vectors are displayed as arrows; the style of the
arrowhead can be set with routine PGSAH, and the the size of the
arrowhead is determined by the current character size, set by PGSCH.
Arguments:
A (input) : horizontal component data array.
B (input) : vertical component data array.
IDIM (input) : first dimension of A and B.
JDIM (input) : second dimension of A and B.
I1,I2 (input) : range of first index to be mapped (inclusive).
J1,J2 (input) : range of second index to be mapped (inclusive).
C (input) : scale factor for vector lengths, if 0.0, C will be
set so that the longest vector is equal to the
smaller of TR(2)+TR(3) and TR(5)+TR(6).
NC (input) : vector positioning code.
<0 vector head positioned on coordinates
>0 vector base positioned on coordinates
=0 vector centered on the coordinates
TR (input) : array defining a transformation between the I,J
grid of the array and the world coordinates. The
world coordinates of the array point A(I,J) are
given by:
X = TR(1) + TR(2)*I + TR(3)*J
Y = TR(4) + TR(5)*I + TR(6)*J
Usually TR(3) and TR(5) are zero - unless the
coordinate transformation involves a rotation
or shear.
BLANK (input) : elements of arrays A or B that are exactly equal to
this value are ignored (blanked).
pgvsiz( xleft, xright, ybot, ytop )
Change the size and position of the viewport, specifying
the viewport in physical device coordinates (inches). The
viewport is the rectangle on the view surface "through"
which one views the graph. All the PG routines which plot lines
etc. plot them within the viewport, and lines are truncated at
the edge of the viewport (except for axes, labels etc drawn with
PGBOX or PGLAB). The region of world space (the coordinate
space of the graph) which is visible through the viewport is
specified by a call to PGSWIN. It is legal to request a
viewport larger than the view surface; only the part which
appears on the view surface will be plotted.
Arguments:
XLEFT (input) : x-coordinate of left hand edge of viewport, in
inches from left edge of view surface.
XRIGHT (input) : x-coordinate of right hand edge of viewport, in
inches from left edge of view surface.
YBOT (input) : y-coordinate of bottom edge of viewport, in
inches from bottom of view surface.
YTOP (input) : y-coordinate of top edge of viewport, in inches
from bottom of view surface.
pgvstd
Define the viewport to be the standard viewport. The standard
viewport is the full area of the view surface (or panel),
less a margin of 4 character heights all round for labelling.
It thus depends on the current character size, set by PGSCH.
Arguments: none.
Plot an annotated grey-scale or color wedge parallel to a given axis
of the the current viewport. This routine is designed to provide a
brightness/color scale for an image drawn with PGIMAG or PGGRAY.
The wedge will be drawn with the transfer function set by PGSITF
and using the color index range set by PGSCIR.
Arguments:
SIDE (input) : The first character must be one of the characters
'B', 'L', 'T', or 'R' signifying the Bottom, Left,
Top, or Right edge of the viewport.
The second character should be 'I' to use PGIMAG
to draw the wedge, or 'G' to use PGGRAY.
DISP (input) : the displacement of the wedge from the specified
edge of the viewport, measured outwards from the
viewport in units of the character height. Use a
negative value to write inside the viewport, a
positive value to write outside.
WIDTH (input) : The total width of the wedge including annotation,
in units of the character height.
FG (input) : The value which is to appear with shade
1 ("foreground"). Use the values of FG and BG
that were supplied to PGGRAY or PGIMAG.
BG (input) : the value which is to appear with shade
0 ("background").
LABEL (input) : Optional units label. If no label is required
use ' '.

pgwnad( x1, x2, y1, y2 )
Change the window in world coordinate space that is to be mapped on
to the viewport, and simultaneously adjust the viewport so that the
world-coordinate scales are equal in x and y. The new viewport is
the largest one that can fit within the previously set viewport
while retaining the required aspect ratio.
Arguments:
X1 (input) : the x-coordinate of the bottom left corner
of the viewport.
X2 (input) : the x-coordinate of the top right corner
of the viewport (note X2 may be less than X1).
Y1 (input) : the y-coordinate of the bottom left corner
of the viewport.
Y2 (input) : the y-coordinate of the top right corner of the
viewport (note Y2 may be less than Y1).
