NAME

16       spps_converters - A set of functions, each of which transforms a
17       coordinate from one of the NCAR Graphics coordinate systems to another.
18       The complete list of functions is as follows:  CFUX, CFUY, CMFX, CMFY,
19       CMUX, CMUY, CPFX, CPFY, CPUX, CPUY, CUFX, CUFY, KFMX, KFMY, KFPX, KFPY,
20       KMPX, KMPY, KPMX, KPMY, KUMX, KUMY, KUPX, and KUPY.
21

STATUS

23       Plotter Address Units (PAUs) and Metacode Units (MUs) are no longer
24       used in NCAR Graphics; thus, all functions with either an M or a P as
25       the second or third letter of the function name are considered
26       obsolete.
27
28       The current recognized coordinate systems are GKS world coordinates,
29       GKS normalized device coordinates, NCAR Graphics fractional
30       coordinates, and NCAR Graphics user coordinates.  See the NCAR Graphics
31       document "NCAR Graphics Fundamentals, UNIX Version" for descriptions of
32       these coordinate systems.
33
34       The following definitions of the PAU coordinate system and the MU
35       coordinate system are provided for the purpose of interpreting and
36       converting codes which use PAUs or MUs:
37
38       The plotter coordinates of a point are integers IPX and IPY, where IPX
39       is between 1 and 2**MX and IPY is between 1 and 2**MY.  MX and MY are
40       internal parameters of SPPS; each has a default value of 10.  Values of
41       MX and MY can be set by calling the routines SETI or SETUSV and
42       retrieved by calling the routines GETSI or GETUSV.
43
44       The metacode coordinates of a point are integers IMX and IMY between 0
45       and 32767 inclusive.  The area addressed is a square in a "metacode
46       space" that is usually mapped into a square subset of the addressable
47       area of the plotting device.  Metacode coordinates were used in calls
48       to the routine PLOTIT and are returned in calls to FL2INT.

DESCRIPTION

79       RX          (an input expression of type REAL) is an X coordinate in
80                   the coordinate system specified by the second letter of the
81                   function name.  In a reference to CFUX, RX is a fractional
82                   X coordinate; in a reference to CUFX, RX is a user X
83                   coordinate.
84
85       RY          (an input expression of type REAL) is a Y coordinate in the
86                   coordinate system specified by the second letter of the
87                   function name.  In a reference to CFUY, RY is a fractional
88                   Y coordinate; in a reference to CUFY, RY is a user Y
89                   coordinate.
90
91       IX and IY occur as arguments only in references to some of the obsolete
92       functions; they represent input expressions of type INTEGER, specifying
93       the X and Y coordinates of a point in either PAUs or MUs (depending on
94       the second letter of the function name).
95
96       The first letter of the function name is a C if the result is of type
97       REAL and a K if the result is of type INTEGER (the latter only happens
98       for some of the obsolete ones).  This conforms to the usual FORTRAN
99       convention for implicit typing.
100
101       The second letter of the function name specifies the coordinate system
102       of the argument.
103
104       The third letter of the function name specifies the coordinate system
105       of the functional result.  In references to CFUX and CFUY, the result
106       is in the user system; in references to CUFX and CUFY, the result is in
107       the fractional system.
108
109       The fourth letter of the function name is an X or a Y, depending on
110       whether an X or a Y coordinate is being converted.
111

C-BINDING DESCRIPTION

113       The C-binding argument description is the same as the FORTRAN argument
114       description.
115

EXAMPLES

117       Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples which
118       use coordinate converters: mpex10, cbex10, sfex02, epltch.
119
120       The command "ncargex -n mpex10" will load the driver mpex10.f into your
121       current working directory where you can examine the file using a local
122       editor, or the UNIX more command.
123

ACCESS

125       There were 24 conversion functions in the original set.  These
126       functions (12 for the X coordinate of a point, and 12 for the Y
127       coordinate), allowed one to convert between any combination of PAUs,
128       MUs, fractional coordinates, and user coordinates.  PAUs and MUs are
129       now obsolete; thus, only four of the conversion functions are still
130       pertinent:  CFUX and CFUY allow one to convert the X and Y coordinates
131       of a point from the fractional system to the user system, while CUFX
132       and CUFY do the opposite.
133
134       To use any of the conversion routines, load the load the NCAR Graphics
135       libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order.
