NAME¶
MPISCI - Given the area identifier of one of the areas defined by whatever
database was last read by one of the EZMAPB routines MPLNAM, MPLNDM, MPLNDR,
and MPLNRI, this function returns a suggested color index for that area.
SYNOPSIS¶
ISCI=MPISCI(IAIN)
C-BINDING SYNOPSIS¶
#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>
int c_mpisci (int iain)
DESCRIPTION¶
- IAIN
- is an input expression of type INTEGER, specifying the area identifier of
a particular area of interest.
C-BINDING DESCRIPTION¶
The C-binding argument description is the same as the FORTRAN argument
description.
USAGE¶
The statement "ISCI=MPISCI(IAIN)" retrieves in ISCI the suggested
color index for the area with area identifier IAIN. For example, if IMAD is
the area identifier of the little island in Lake Superior called "Lake
Madeline", then MPISCI(IMAD) has the value 6. The suggested color indices
are defined in such a way as to ensure that areas that touch each other have
different color indices.
To get a suggested color index for the area, at a specified level, that contains
the area with a specified area identifier, use MPISCI in combination with
MPIOAR (which see). For example, MPISCI(MPIOAR(IMAD,4)) has the value 6, which
is the color index for "Wisconsin" or any portion thereof, and
MPISCI(MPIOAR(IMAD,2)) = 5, which is the color index for "North
America".
EXAMPLES¶
Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: mpex11, mpex12.
ACCESS¶
To use MPISCI or c_mpisci, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks,
and ncarg_c, preferably in that order.
