6 Surface_params - This document briefly describes the Surface internal
7 parameters.
8
10 There are no parameter access routines available for the Surface
11 utility. Therefore, parameters must be set through the common blocks
12 SRFBLK and SRFIP1.
13
14 In order to access the internal parameters, you must declare the
15 following common blocks for the Surface parameters in your code.
16
17 COMMON /SRFBLK/ LIMU(1024) ,LIML(1024) ,CL(41) ,NCL ,
18 1 LL ,FACT ,IROT ,NDRZ ,
19 2 NUPPER ,NRSWT ,BIGD ,UMIN ,
20 3 UMAX ,VMIN ,VMAX ,RZERO ,
21 4 IOFFP ,NSPVAL ,SPVAL ,BIGEST
22 COMMON /SRFIP1/ IFR ,ISTP ,IROTS ,IDRX ,
23 1 IDRY ,IDRZ ,IUPPER ,ISKIRT ,
24 2 NCLA ,THETA ,HSKIRT ,CHI ,
25 3 CLO ,CINC ,ISPVAL

27 Note that not all of the variables declared above are considered user-
28 modifiable parameters. Definitions of only user-modifiable parameters
29 follow:

31
32
33 IFR -1 Call FRAME first.
34 0 Do not call FRAME.
35 +1 Call FRAME when done (default).
36
37
38
39 ISTP -1 Draws alternating frames, slightly offset
40 (For movies, IROTS = 0).
41 0 Blank frame between for stereo slide (IROTS = 1)
42 (default).
43 +1 Both on same frame. (left picture to left
44 side. IROTS = 0).
45
46
47
48 IROTS
49 0 +Z in vertical plotting direction (CINE mode)
50 (default).
51 +1 +Z in horizontal plotting direction (COMIC mode).
52
53
54
55 IDRX +1 Draw lines of constant X (default).
56 0 Do not.
57
58
59 IDRY +1 Draw lines of constant Y (default).
60 0 Do not.
61
62
63 IDRZ +1 Draw lines of constant Z (contour lines).
64 0 Do not (default).
65
66
67 IUPPER +1 Draw upper side of surface.
68 0 Draw both sides (default).
69 -1 Draw lower side.
70
71
72 ISKIRT +1 Draw a skirt around the surface.
73 BOTTOM = HSKIRT.
74 0 Do not (default).
75
76
77 NCLA
78 Approximate number of levels of constant Z
79 that are drawn if levels are not specified.
80 40 is the maximum and 6 is the default.
81
82
83 THETA
84 The angle in radians between eyes for stereo pairs.
85 The default is .02.
86
87
88 HSKIRT
89 Height of skirt (if ISKIRT = 1). The default is 0.
90
91
92 CHI
93 Highest level of constant Z. The default is 0.
94
95
96 CLO
97 Lowest level of constant Z. The default is 0.
98
99
100 CINC
101 Increment between levels. The default is 0.
102
103
104 IOFFP
105 Flag to control the use of the special value feature. Do
106 not have both IOFFP=1 and ISKIRT=1.
107 0 Feature not in use (default).
108 +1 Feature in use. No lines are drawn to data points
109 that are equal to SPVAL.
110
111
112 SPVAL
113 Special value used to mark unknown data when
114 IOFFP=1. The default is 0.
