.TH VECTOR 3NCARG "March 1993" UNIX "NCAR GRAPHICS" .na .nh .SH NAME VECTOR - generates a "pen-down" move to a specified point in the user coordinate system. VECTOR is used in conjunction with the routine FRSTPT to draw lines. .SH SYNOPSIS CALL VECTOR (PX,PY) .SH C-BINDING SYNOPSIS #include .sp void c_vector (float px, float py) .SH DESCRIPTION .IP PX 12 (an input expression of type REAL) defines the X user coordinate. .IP PY 12 (an input expression of type REAL) defines the Y user coordinate. .SH C-BINDING DESCRIPTION The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. .SH USAGE Polyline type, line width, and color can be set by calling the GKS routines GSLN, GSLWSC, GSCR, and GSPLCI before calling VECTOR. .sp Note that, for the sake of efficiency, the routines FRSTPT and VECTOR buffer the polylines resulting from pen moves. One must be sure to flush the SPPS polyline buffer before changing polyline attributes. A "CALL PLOTIF (0.,0.,2)" will flush the buffer. .SH EXAMPLES Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: tgflas. .SH ACCESS To use VECTOR or c_vector, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order. .SH SEE ALSO Online: gpl, gsln, gslwsc, gscr, gsplci, spps, spps_params, frstpt, line, curve, ncarg_cbind .sp Hardcopy: NCAR Graphics Fundamentals, UNIX Version; User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 1987-2009 .br University Corporation for Atmospheric Research .br The use of this Software is governed by a License Agreement.
