NAME
       MAPACI - Normally used to pick colors for the areas created by the boundary lines added to an area map by
       a call to MAPBLA.  Note that this function should not be used to select color indices for areas defined
       by the new map database "Earth..1", which was created in 1998; for that purpose, use EZMAPB functions
       instead (in particular, MPISCI).


SYNOPSIS
       ICIR=MAPACI(IAID)


C-BINDING SYNOPSIS
       #include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

       int c_mapaci (int iaid)


DESCRIPTION
       IAID        (an input expression of type INTEGER) is an area identifier for one of the areas defined by
                   the set of boundary lines added to an area map by a call to MAPBLA.


C-BINDING DESCRIPTION
       The C-binding argument description is the same as the FORTRAN argument description.


USAGE
       Executing the statement "ICIR=MAPACI(IAID)" gives ICIR a value between 1 and 7, inclusive, that may be
       used to select a color index for the area whose area identifier is IAID.  It is guaranteed that MAPACI
       will not return the same value for adjacent areas; this fact can be used to ensure that adjacent areas
       will have different colors.

       Note that it is the responsibility of the user to define the colors associated with color indices used;
       this is done by calling the GKS routine GSCR.


EXAMPLES
       Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant example: eezmpa.


ACCESS
       To use MAPACI or c_mapaci, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in
       that order.
