NAME

       FL2INT - converts X and Y coordinates from the User Coordinate System to the Metacode
       Coordinate System.

STATUS

       Metacode units are no longer used in NCAR Graphics; thus, FL2INT is considered an obsolete
       routine.

       The current recognized coordinate systems are GKS world coordinates, GKS normalized device
       coordinates, NCAR Graphics fractional coordinates, and NCAR Graphics user coordinates.
       See the NCAR Graphics document "NCAR Graphics Fundamentals, UNIX Version" for a
       description of these coordinate systems.

       FL2INT continues to be provided for compatibility of early NCAR Graphics codes.  If you
       are writing new code, we suggest that you use user coordinates and fractional coordinates.
       The routines CUFX and CUFY will convert from user coordinates to fractional coordinates.
       CFUX and CFUY will convert fractional coordinates to user coordinates.

       The following definition of the Metacode Coordinate System is included for the purpose of
       interpreting and converting codes:

       The metacode coordinates of a point are integers IMX and IMY between 0 and 32767
       inclusive.  The area addressed is a square in a "metacode space" that is usually mapped
       into a square subset of the addressable area of the plotting device.  Metacode coordinates
       were used in calls to the routine PLOTIT and are returned in calls to FL2INT.

SYNOPSIS

       CALL FL2INT (PX,PY,IX,IY)

DESCRIPTION

       PX          (an input expression of type REAL) is the X coordinate of a point in user
                   coordinates.

       PY          (an input expression of type REAL) is the Y coordinate of a point in user
                   coordinates.

       IX          (an output variable of type INTEGER) is the X coordinate of the point in
                   metacode coordinates.

       IY          (an output variable of type INTEGER) is the Y coordinate of the point in
                   metacode coordinates.

ACCESS

       To use FL2INT, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably
       in that order.
