NAME

       HSTOPI - Specifies various INTEGER parameters to be used by the Histogram utility.

SYNOPSIS

       CALL HSTOPI (STRING, PARAM1, PARAM2, ICOL, LCOL)

C-BINDING SYNOPSIS

       #include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

       void c_hstopi (char *string, int param1, int param2,
       int *icol, int lcol)

DESCRIPTION

STRING Character, input -- Selects an internal parameter. The possibilities are:

´COL=ON´ or ´COL=OFF´
´CLA=ON´ or ´CLA=OFF´

If an option is turned ´ON´, then the remaining HSTOPI arguments can be used
to override the default settings of that option.

If the option is ´OFF´, then the remaining arguments of the HSTOPI call can be
any dummy values. Option settings will be returned to their default values.

The following options are defined by this subroutine:

COL This option turns the use of color OFF, or ON. If it is ON, then
eight color indices are assigned to the various parts of the
histogram as described by the INTEGER array ICOL. Arguments ICOL
and LCOL must be set, PARAM1 and PARAM2 can have dummy values.

CLA This option allows the size and orientation of class labels to be
altered. If ´CLA=ON´, the size of the label characters is set
using argument PARAM1, and the orientation is set by argument
PARAM2. Arguments ICOL and LCOL can have dummy values. If
´CLA=OFF´, defaults are used which cause medium sized characters
to be written in the horizontal direction.

PARAM1 Integer, input -- Specifies the character height of class labels.

When ´CLA=ON´; 1 = small, 2 = medium, 3 = large; default is 2 when ´CLA=OFF´.

PARAM2 Integer, input -- Specifies the character orientation of class labels.

If ´CLA=ON´, labels can vary from 0 (horizontal) to 90 (vertical) degrees.
Vertical is the default when ´CLA=OFF´.

ICOL Integer, input -- Assigns a set of RGB color indices to the eight components
of a histogram graphic when ´COL=ON´.

ICOL(1) = color index used for area fill of
histogram bars of dataset 1.
ICOL(2) = color index used for area fill of
histogram bars of dataset 2.
(When two datasets are compared
using parameter IFLAG = 3).
ICOL(3) = color index used for bar outlines.
ICOL(4) = color index used for drawing axes.
ICOL(5) = color index used for drawing a median
line.
ICOL(6) = color index used for text output
(labels.)
ICOL(7) = color index used for titles.
ICOL(8) = color index used for drawing the
perimeter box.

The default color index is 1 for all (when ´COL=OFF´).

If ´COL=ON´, the color indices and their associated colors are as follows.
(These may be changed by specifying an RGB color table prior to your call to
HSTOPI. See the man page for GKS routine gscr.)

Color Index Color

0 BLACK
1 WHITE
2 RED
3 GREEN
4 BLUE
5 CYAN
6 MAGENTA
7 YELLOW
8 ORANGE

LCOL Integer, input -- Specifies the length of array ICOL. LCOL must be set to 8.

C-BINDING DESCRIPTION

       The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions.

USAGE

       HSTOPI is called to set parameters of type INTEGER before entry HISTGR is called to
       generate the histogram.  Options are size and orientation of class labels, and setting the
       colors for various components of the graphic.

       For a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the histogram_params man
       page.

EXAMPLES

       Use the command "ncargex thstgr" to generate a three frame example of histogram options.
       The following code causes the second frame to have an array of colors assigned to the
       graphic components (argument ICOL.)

             REAL     RGB(3,15)
             INTEGER  COLORS(15)
       C
       C  Define the RGB triples of 15 colors in a data statement.
       C  (Code omitted for brevity.  See the data statement in thstgr.f)
       C
       C  Assign colors to the color indices.
       C
             DO 100 I = 1,15
             CALL GSCR(1,I,RGB(1,I),RGB(2,I),RGB(3,I))
         100 CONTINUE
       C
       C  Assign color indices to the 8 components of the graphic.
       C
                COLORS(1) = 8
                COLORS(2) = 3
                COLORS(3) = 14
                COLORS(4) = 11
                COLORS(5) = 6
                COLORS(6) = 13
                COLORS(7) = 14
                COLORS(8) = 5
             CALL HSTOPI(´COL=ON´,3,0,COLORS,8)

       Example  "ncargex thstmv" shows three examples of histograms with missing values in the
       input data.

ACCESS

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