NAME

       STUIXY - Inversely maps a single point on the streamline from user to data coordinate space.

SYNOPSIS

       CALL STUIXY (XUS,YUS,XDA,YDA,IST)

DESCRIPTION

       XUS         (REAL, input): The X coordinate of a point in the user coordinate system.

       YUS         (REAL, input): The Y coordinate of a point in the user coordinate system.

       XDA         (REAL, output): The X coordinate of the point in the data coordinate system.

       YDA         (REAL, output): The Y coordinate of the point in the data coordinate system.

       IST         (REAL,  output):  Status  of  the  mapping  operation:  0  indicates success, negative values
                   indicate that the mapping failed; positive values are reserved and should not be used by  the
                   implementor of a mapping routine.

USAGE

STUIXY is a user-modifiable routine provided to support custom mappings of the data coordinate space. The
user does not invoke it directly. Instead, whenever the parameter MAP specifies a mapping not handled by
Streamlines internally (i.e., when MAP is set to a value other than 0, 1, or 2), Streamlines calls STUIXY
once for each incremental step in the creation of a streamline. The default version of STUIXY simply
performs an identity mapping. In order to implement a custom mapping, you must pick a unique mapping code
(a positive integer greater than 2), and then modify each of the three routines, STUMXY, STUIXY, and
STUMTA to recognize and respond consistently to the chosen code. In the standard distribution of NCAR
Graphics, these three routines reside in a single file, ´stumxy.f´. STUMXY maps a point from data to
user coordinate space, STUIXY inversely maps a point from user to data coordinate space, and STUMTA,
which is likely to be the most difficult to implement, finds the tangent angle of the streamline at a
point in NDC space.

STUIXY has access to a common block called STMAP that contains a number of variables used to record the
current transformation state. In order to accommodate a variety of mapping implementations, STMAP
provides more information than normally required. Consider the values stored in STMAP as strictly read-
only. One essential member of this common block is IMAP, which contains the value currently assigned to
the MAP parameter.

In STUIXY, the implementor of a custom mapping needs to add code of the form:

IF (IMAP .EQ. <chosen_map_code>) THEN

...map XUS to XDA

...map YUS to YDA

...if error, set IST to a negative value

RETURN

ENDIF

Note that after the return from STUIXY, Streamlines checks to ensure that XDA and YDA are within the
current boundaries of the data coordinate system.

When implementing a custom mapping, you may wish to look at the coding of the pre-defined mappings (0,
identity mapping; 1, Ezmap projections; and 2, polar coordinate mapping) in the file ´stmpxy.f´. For
these mappings, the subroutine STIMXY is the equivalent of STUIXY; it has an identical interface and may
serve as a model for your implementation.

ACCESS

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