NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       CALL CSSTRID (N, RLAT, RLON, NT, NTRI, IWK, RWK, IER)
10

DESCRIPTION

12       N           (integer,input) The number of input data points (N > 2).
13
14       RLAT        (double precision, input) An array containing the latitudes
15                   of the input data, expressed in degrees.  The  first  three
16                   points  must  not  be collinear (lie on a common great cir‐
17                   cle).
18
19       RLON        (double precision, input) An array  containing  the  longi‐
20                   tudes of the input data, expressed in degrees.
21
22       NT          (integer, output) The number of triangles in the triangula‐
23                   tion, unless IER .NE. 0, in which case NT = 0. Where NB  is
24                   the  number  of  boundary  points on the convex hull of the
25                   data, if NB .GE. 3, then NT = 2N-NB-2,  otherwise  NT=2N-4.
26                   The input data are considered to be bounded if they all lie
27                   in one hemisphere.  Dimensioning NT  for  2*N  will  always
28                   work.
29
30       NTRI        (integer,  output)  A  two-dimensional integer array dimen‐
31                   sioned for 3 x NT where NT is the number  of  triangles  in
32                   the  triangulation  (NT  is at most 2*N). NTRI contains the
33                   triangulation data. The vertices of the Kth  triangle  are:
34                   (PLAT(NTRI((1,K)),PLON(NTRI(1,K)),
35                   (PLAT(NTRI((2,K)),PLON(NTRI(2,K)),
36                   (PLAT(NTRI((3,K)),PLON(NTRI(3,K))
37
38       IWK         (integer, input) An integer workspace of length 27*N.
39
40       RWK         (double  precision,  input)  A  work  array dimensioned for
41                   13*N.  Note that this work array must be typed DOUBLE  PRE‐
42                   CISION.
43
44       IER         (integer,  output)  An  error  return  value.   If  IER  is
45                   returned as 0, then no errors were detected. If IER is non-
46                   zero,  then  refer  to  the man page for cssgrid_errors for
47                   details.

USAGE

50       CSSTRID is called to find a Delaunay  triangulation  of  data  randomly
51       positioned  on  the  surface of a sphere. CSSTRID is a double precision
52       version of CSSTRI.
53

ACCESS

55       To use CSSTRID, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.
