Plotting library

The graphics.cpl library provides basic plotting instructions by linking a CPL program to GNU plotutils. The same programming interface is also shared by nographics and gnuplot

SUBROUTINE OPENGRAPH()

SUBROUTINE OPENGRAPH(STRING filename)

SUBROUTINE OPENGRAPH(INTEGER n)

Starts a new graph, or clears a previously existing one. If the argument <filename> is specified, the graph is simultaneously piped to the screen and to a file of graphics commands that allows the graph to be reproduced later. If the argument <n> is specified (available in the gnuplot version only) a new window numbered <n> is opened and the previous graph window is left on screen. Most graphics commands invoke OPENGRAPH() automatically if no graph was previously opened. A graphics window may be closed without opening a new one by the

SUBROUTINE CLOSEGRAPH()

SUBROUTINE WINDOW(REAL VARIABLE x1, x2, y1, y2)

specifies a plotting window within the current graph, in a system of coordinates going from 0 to 1 along either axis. If WINDOW was not specified, 0,1,0,1 is assumed.
Page: (graphics)RANGE, Next: STARTLINE, Prev: WINDOW, Up: Top

SUBROUTINE RANGE(REAL x1,x2; FUNCTION(REAL z)->REAL newxmap; REAL y1,y2; FUNCTION(REAL z)->REAL newymap)

SUBROUTINE RANGE(REAL x1,x2,y1,y2)

specify a range for the drawing coordinates on either axis, and possibly a mapping function (system- or user-provided). For example: RANGE(0,100,-1,2.5) RANGE(1,100,LOG,0,10,LIN) The predefined function LIN provides a linear identity mapping. The current range may be read from the REAL CONSTANT XMIN,XMAX,YMIN,YMAX If RANGE was not specified, 0,1,0,1 is assumed (except for PLOT).

SUBROUTINE STARTLINE()

SUBROUTINE STARTCIRCLE()

SUBROUTINE STARTLINE(ARRAY(∗) OF CHAR style)

Starts a new line (chain of segments) within the current graph. That is, the next DRAW command will not draw a segment but just a point. STARTCIRCLE specifies that a small circle be drawn in each point rather than connecting them with segments. In the gnuplot version only, the argument <style> may be added to specify a gnuplot-recognized line style.

SUBROUTINE DRAW(REAL x,y)

The basic drawing primitive, draws a line segment up to point <x>, <y> or a symbol according to the style specified by STARTLINE.

SUBROUTINE MOVE(REAL x,y)

is equivalent to STARTLINE; DRAW x,y

SUBROUTINE LINE(REAL x1,y1,x2,y2)

is equivalent to STARTLINE; DRAW x1,y1; DRAW x2,y2

SUBROUTINE BOX(REAL x1,x2,y1,y2)

SUBROUTINE CIRCLE(REAL x,y,r)

do what their names imply.
Page: (graphics)LABEL, Next: SHOWGRAPH, Prev: DRAW, Up: Top

SUBROUTINE LABEL(REAL x,y; POINTER TO CSTRING s)

writes character string <s> starting at coordinates <x>, <y>.
Page: (graphics)SHOWGRAPH, Next: PLOT, Prev: LABEL, Up: Top

SUBROUTINE SHOWGRAPH()

flushes the internal buffer, which could otherwise delay the graph from being shown on screen.

SUBROUTINE PLOT(REAL FUNCTION(REAL) f; REAL x1,x2)

SUBROUTINE PLOT(REAL FUNCTION(INTEGER) f; INTEGER x1,x2)

SUBROUTINE PLOT(REAL FUNCTION(INTEGER) f; ARRAY(∗) OF REAL vecx)

SUBROUTINE PLOT(ARRAY(∗) OF REAL vec)

SUBROUTINE PLOT(ARRAY(∗) OF REAL vecy,vecx)

These subroutines have the purpose of plotting an entire function or data array in a predefined format with a single command. If a RANGE was not specified between OPENGRAPH and the current PLOT, it is automatically determined.

nographics.cpl

Fake plotting package that allows graphics to be turned off by USEing this library instead of graphics without modifying the rest of the program.

gnuplot.cpl

This library provides the same plotting instructions as graphics.cpl but pipes the appropriate commands to a gnuplot process. In addition the following commands are available in gnuplot.cpl only:

SUBROUTINE SPLOT(ARRAY(∗,∗) OF REAL vec)

SUBROUTINE SPLOT(ARRAY(∗,∗) OF INTEGER vec)

strlines.cpl

This separate library contains specialized routines to draw random streamline segments out of an array of velocity values.
