void gr_nonuniformcellarray(double*, double*, int, int, int, int, int, int, int*)

Display a two dimensional color index array with nonuniform cell sizes.

These memory accesses must be valid:

  • x[scol-1] through x[scol+ncol-2+clamp(dimx,0,1)]

  • y[scol-1] through y[scol+ncol-2+clamp(dimy,0,1)]

  • color[scol-1+(srow-1)*ncol] through color[scol+ncol-2+(srow+nrow-2)*ncol]

If dimx/dimy is positive, x/y must contain dimx+1/dimy+1 elements. The elements are the coordinates of the cell-edges, where the i-th and i+1-th elements are the edges of the i-th cell in X/Y direction.

If dimx/dimy is negative, x/y must contain -dimx/-dimy elements. The elements are the coordinates of the cell-centers, where the i-th element is the center of the i-th cell in X/Y direction. The inner edges are placed halfway (in world coordinates) between the surrounding centers. The outer edges will be placed at the coordinates given by the first and last element respectively. However, they will still be considered centers for interpolating the edge-positions, which means the first and last cells will be half the size. Hence, -1 cannot be used as a dimension parameter, because the size of the only cell would be impossible to determine.

Assume you have a dimx by dimy color index array. To draw all cells of the color index array using edges use:

 gr_nonuniformcellarray(x, y, dimx, dimy, 1, 1, dimx, dimy, color)
To draw all cells of the color index array using centers use:
 gr_nonuniformcellarray(x, y, -dimx, -dimy, 1, 1, dimx, dimy, color)
scol and srow can be used to specify a (1-based) starting column and row in the color, x and y array. dimx and dimy specify the actual dimension of the arrays in the memory whereof ncol and nrow values are displayed.

Parameters:
  • x[in] ascending X coordinates of the cell edges in world coordinates

  • y[in] ascending Y coordinates of the cell edges in world coordinates

  • dimx[in] (possibly negated) X dimension of the color index array

  • dimy[in] (possibly negated) Y dimension of the color index array

  • scol[in] 1-based starting column of color index and x array

  • srow[in] 1-based starting row of color index and y array

  • ncol[in] number of columns displayed

  • nrow[in] number of rows displayed

  • color[in] color index array

void gr_polarcellarray(double, double, double, double, double, double, int, int, int, int, int, int, int*)

Display a two dimensional color index array mapped to a disk using polar coordinates.

The two dimensional color index array is mapped to the resulting image by interpreting the X-axis of the array as the angle and the Y-axis as the radius. The center point of the resulting disk is located at x_org, y_org and the radius of the disk is rmax.

To draw a contiguous array as a complete disk use:

gr_polarcellarray(x_org, y_org, 0, 360, 0, rmax, dimphi, dimr, 1, 1, dimphi, dimr, color)
The additional parameters to the function can be used to further control the mapping from polar to cartesian coordinates.

If rmin is greater than 0 the input data is mapped to a punctured disk (or annulus) with an inner radius of rmin and an outer radius rmax. If rmin is greater than rmax the Y-axis of the array is reversed.

The parameter phimin and phimax can be used to map the data to a sector of the (punctured) disk starting at phimin and ending at phimax. If phimin is greater than phimax the X-axis is reversed. The visible sector is the one starting in mathematically positive direction (counterclockwise) at the smaller angle and ending at the larger angle. An example of the four possible options can be found below:

phimin

phimax

scol and srow can be used to specify a (1-based) starting column and row in the color array. ncol and nrow specify the actual dimension of the array in the memory whereof dimphi and dimr values are mapped to the disk.

Parameters:
  • x_org[in] X coordinate of the disk center in world coordinates

  • y_org[in] Y coordinate of the disk center in world coordinates

  • phimin[in] start angle of the disk sector in degrees

  • phimax[in] end angle of the disk sector in degrees

  • rmin[in] inner radius of the punctured disk in world coordinates

  • rmax[in] outer radius of the disk in world coordinates

  • dimphi[in] Phi (X) dimension of the color index array

  • dimr[in] R (Y) dimension of the color index array

  • scol[in] number of leading columns in the color index array

  • srow[in] number of leading rows in the color index array

  • ncol[in] total number of columns in the color index array

  • nrow[in] total number of rows in the color index array

void gr_nonuniformpolarcellarray(double, double, double*, double*, int, int, int, int, int, int, int*)

Display a two dimensional color index array mapped to a disk using polar coordinates with nonuniform cell sizes.

The mapping of the polar coordinates and the drawing is performed simialr to gr_polarcellarray with the difference that the individual cell sizes are specified allowing nonuniform sized cells.

These memory accesses must be valid:

  • phi[scol-1] through phi[scol+ncol-2+clamp(dimphi,0,1)]

  • r[srow-1] through r[srow+nrow-2+clamp(dimr,0,1)]

  • color[scol-1+(srow-1)*ncol] through color[scol+ncol-2+(srow+nrow-2)*ncol]`

If dimphi/dimr is positive, phi/r must contain dimphi+1/dimr+1 elements. The elements are used to calculate the cell-edges, where the i-th and i+1-th elements are used for the edges of the i-th cell in Phi/R direction.

If dimphi/dimr is negative, phi/r must contain -dimphi/-dimr elements. The elements are used to calculate the cell-centers, where the i-th element is used for the center of the i-th cell in Phi/R direction. The inner edges are placed halfway (in world coordinates) between the surrounding centers. The outer edges will be placed at the coordinates calculated for the center of the first and last cell respectively. However, they will still be considered centers for interpolating the edge-positions, which means the first and last cells will be half the size. Hence, -1 cannot be used as a dimension parameter, because the size of the only cell would be impossible to determine.

Assume you have a dimphi by dimr color index array. To draw all cells of the color index array using edges use:

 gr_nonuniformpolarcellarray(x_org, y_org, phi, r, dimphi, dimr, 1, 1, dimphi, dimr, color)
To draw all cells of the color index array using centers use:
 gr_nonuniformpolarcellarray(x_org, y_org, phi, r, -dimphi, -dimr, 1, 1, dimphi, dimr, color)

void gr_setwindow(double, double, double, double)

Establishes a window, or rectangular subspace, of world coordinates to be plotted. If you desire log scaling or mirror-imaging of axes, use the gr_setscale function.

This function defines the rectangular portion of the World Coordinate space (WC) to be associated with the specified normalization transformation. The WC window and the Normalized Device Coordinates (NDC) viewport define the normalization transformation through which all output primitives are mapped. The WC window is mapped onto the rectangular NDC viewport which is, in turn, mapped onto the display surface of the open and active workstation, in device coordinates. By default, GR uses the range [0,1] x [0,1], in world coordinates, as the normalization transformation window.

Parameters:
  • xmin[in] The left horizontal coordinate of the window (xmin < xmax).

  • xmax[in] The right horizontal coordinate of the window (xmin < xmax).

  • ymin[in] The bottom vertical coordinate of the window (ymin < ymax).

  • ymax[in] The top vertical coordinate of the window (ymin < ymax).

void gr_setviewport(double, double, double, double)

Establishes a rectangular subspace of normalized device coordinates.

This function defines the rectangular portion of the Normalized Device Coordinate (NDC) space to be associated with the specified normalization transformation. The NDC viewport and World Coordinate (WC) window define the normalization transformation through which all output primitives pass. The WC window is mapped onto the rectangular NDC viewport which is, in turn, mapped onto the display surface of the open and active workstation, in device coordinates.

Parameters:
  • xmin[in] The left horizontal coordinate of the viewport (0 <= xmin < xmax).

  • xmax[in] The right horizontal coordinate of the viewport (xmin < xmax <= 1).

0

Clipping is off. Data outside of the window will be drawn.

1

Clipping is on. Data outside of the window will not be drawn.

This function enables or disables clipping of the image drawn in the current window. Clipping is defined as the removal of those portions of the graph that lie outside of the defined viewport. If clipping is on, GR does not draw generated output primitives past the viewport boundaries. If clipping is off, primitives may exceed the viewport boundaries, and they will be drawn to the edge of the workstation window. By default, clipping is on.

Parameters:

indicator[in] An indicator specifying whether clipping is on or off.

void gr_setwswindow(double, double, double, double)

Set the area of the NDC viewport that is to be drawn in the workstation window.

By default, the workstation transformation will map the range [0,1] x [0,1] in NDC onto the largest square on the workstation’s display surface. The aspect ratio of the workstation window is maintained at 1 to 1.

Parameters:
  • xmin[in] The left horizontal coordinate of the workstation window (0 <= xmin < xmax).

The scale options are used to transform points from an abstract logarithmic or semi-logarithmic coordinate system, which may be flipped along each axis, into the world coordinate system.

Note

When applying a logarithmic transformation to a specific axis, the system assumes that the axes limits are greater than zero.

Parameters:

options[in] Scale specification (see table)

void gr_inqscale(int*)
int gr_textext(double, double, char*)

Draw a text at position x, y using the current text attributes. Strings can be defined to create basic mathematical expressions and Greek letters.

The values for X and Y are in normalized device coordinates. The attributes that control the appearance of text are text font and precision, character expansion factor, character spacing, text color index, character height, character up vector, text path and text alignment.

The character string is interpreted to be a simple mathematical formula. The following notations apply:

Subscripts and superscripts: These are indicated by carets (‘^’) and underscores (‘_’). If the sub/superscript contains more than one character, it must be enclosed in curly braces (‘{}’).

Fractions are typeset with A ‘/’ B, where A stands for the numerator and B for the denominator.

To include a Greek letter you must specify the corresponding keyword after a backslash (’') character. The text translator produces uppercase or lowercase Greek letters depending on the case of the keyword.

  • M, m

    Moves the current position to (x, y). The new position is either absolute (M) or relative to the current position (m). The initial position of gr_path is (0, 0).

    Example:

    double x[2] = {0.5, -0.1};
    double y[2] = {0.2, 0.1};
    gr_path(2, x, y, "Mm");
    
    The first move command in this example moves the current position to the absolute coordinates (0.5, 0.2). The second move to performs a movement by (-0.1, 0.1) relative to the current position resulting in the point (0.4, 0.3).

  • L, l

    Draws a line from the current position to the given position (x, y). The end point of the line is either absolute (L) or relative to the current position (l). The current position is set to the end point of the line.

    Example:

    double x[3] = {0.1, 0.5, 0.0};
    double y[3] = {0.1, 0.1, 0.2};
    gr_path(3, x, y, "MLlS");
    
    The first line to command draws a straight line from the current position (0.1, 0.1) to the absolute position (0.5, 0.1) resulting in a horizontal line. The second line to command draws a vertical line relative to the current position resulting in the end point (0.5, 0.3).

  • Q, q

    Draws a quadratic bezier curve from the current position to the end point (x2, y2) using (x1, y1) as the control point. Both points are either absolute (Q) or relative to the current position (q). The current position is set to the end point of the bezier curve.

    Example:

    double x[5] = {0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.2, 0.4};
    double y[5] = {0.1, 0.2, 0.1, 0.1, 0.0};
    gr_path(5, x, y, "MQqS");
    
    This example will generate two bezier curves whose start and end points are each located at y=0.1. As the control points are horizontally in the middle of each bezier curve with a higher y value both curves are symmetrical and bend slightly upwards in the middle. The current position is set to (0.9, 0.1) at the end.

  • C, c

    Draws a cubic bezier curve from the current position to the end point (x3, y3) using (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) as the control points. All three points are either absolute (C) or relative to the current position (c). The current position is set to the end point of the bezier curve.

    Example:

    double x[7] = {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3};
    double y[7] = {0.1, 0.2, 0.0, 0.1, 0.1, -0.1, 0.0};
    gr_path(7, x, y, "MCcS");
    
    This example will generate two bezier curves whose start and end points are each located at y=0.1. As the control points are equally spaced along the x-axis and the first is above and the second is below the start and end points this creates a wave-like shape for both bezier curves. The current position is set to (0.8, 0.1) at the end.

  • A, a

    Draws an elliptical arc starting at the current position. The major axis of the ellipse is aligned with the x-axis and the minor axis is aligned with the y-axis of the plot. rx and ry are the ellipses radii along the major and minor axis. a1 and a2 define the start and end angle of the arc in radians. The current position is set to the end point of the arc. If a2 is greater than a1 the arc is drawn counter-clockwise, otherwise it is drawn clockwise. The a and A commands draw the same arc. The third coordinates of the x and y array are ignored and reserved for future use.

    Examples:

    double x[4] = {0.1, 0.2, -3.14159 / 2, 0.0};
    double y[4] = {0.1, 0.4, 3.14159 / 2, 0.0};
    gr_path(4, x, y, "MAS");
    
    This example draws an arc starting at (0.1, 0.1). As the start angle -pi/2 is smaller than the end angle pi/2 the arc is drawn counter-clockwise. In this case the right half of an ellipse with an x radius of 0.2 and a y radius of 0.4 is shown. Therefore the current position is set to (0.1, 0.9) at the end.
    double x[4] = {0.1, 0.2, 3.14159 / 2, 0.0};
    double y[4] = {0.9, 0.4, -3.14159 / 2, 0.0};
    gr_path(4, x, y, "MAS");
    
    This examples draws the same arc as the previous one. The only difference is that the starting point is now at (0.1, 0.9) and the start angle pi/2 is greater than the end angle -pi/2 so that the ellipse arc is drawn clockwise. Therefore the current position is set to (0.1, 0.1) at the end.

  • Z

    Closes the current path by connecting the current position to the target position of the last move command (m or M) with a straight line. If no move to was performed in this path it connects the current position to (0, 0). When the path is stroked this line will also be drawn.

  • S, s

    Strokes the path with the current border width and border color (set with gr_setborderwidth and gr_setbordercolorind). In case of s the path is closed beforehand, which is equivalent to ZS.

  • F, f, G, g

    Fills the current path using the even-odd-rule for F and f or the nonzero / winding rule for G and g in the current fill color. Filling a path implicitly closes the path. The fill color can be set using gr_setfillcolorind. In case of F and G the path is also stroked using the current border width and color afterwards.

  • n[in] The number of points

  • x[in] A pointer to the X coordinates

void gr_settextencoding(int)
void gr_inqtextencoding(int*)
void gr_loadfont(char*, int*)

Load a font file from a given filename.

This function loads a font from a given filename and assigns a font index to it. To use the loaded font call gr_settextfontprec using the resulting font index and precision 3.

 int font;
 gr_loadfont(filename, &font);
 gr_settextfontprec(font, 3);
The filename can either be an absolute path or a filename like Arial.ttf. Font files are searched in the directories specified by the GKS_FONT_DIRS environment variable and the operating systems default font locations.

As the font file is internally loaded using FreeType, it is required that FreeType support is compiled in and FreeType has to support the given file type. On error the font index is set to -1.

Parameters:
  • filename[in] The absolute filename of the font

  • font[out] The font index to use with gr_settextfontprec
