NAME¶
VECT3 - Defines the second and all subsequent points in a sequence of points
connected by straight-line segments, the projections of which are to be drawn.
(FRST3 is called for the first point in the sequence and VECT3 is called for
the rest.)
SYNOPSIS¶
CALL VECT3 (U,V,W)
C-BINDING SYNOPSIS¶
#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>
void c_vect3 (float u, float v, float w)
DESCRIPTION¶
- U,V,W
- (input expressions of type REAL) are the coordinates of a point in 3-space
to the projection of which a line is to be drawn.
Each call to FRST3 moves a conceptual "pen" to the new starting point
for a sequence of line draws. Each call to VECT3 draws a line from the current
pen position to a new pen position and then makes that the current pen
position.
Line segments are drawn in the current polyline color, as determined by the last
call to the GKS routine GSPLCI; by default, color index 1 is used. Line width
is determined by the last call to the GKS routine GSLWSC; by default, the
value of the line width scale factor is 1.
Note that the routines FRST3 and VECT3 do not flush the SPPS pen-move buffer. In
fact, to have them do so would entirely defeat the purpose of that buffer.
Therefore, if your last call was to the routine VECT3 and you are about to
call GKS routines to change color or line width, you must first call the SPPS
routine PLOTIF to flush the buffer; otherwise, the color and line width
changes will affect line draws flushed from the buffer later.
C-BINDING DESCRIPTION¶
The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument
descriptions.
EXAMPLES¶
Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: fthex01,
fthex02, fthex03.
ACCESS¶
To use VECT3 or c_vect3, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and
ncarg_c, preferably in that order.
