NAME

       plmap - Plot continental outline in world coordinates

SYNOPSIS

       plmap(mapform, type, minlong, maxlong, minlat, maxlat)

DESCRIPTION

       Plots  continental  outlines in world coordinates. examples/c/x19c demonstrates how to use this  function
       to create different projections.

       Redacted form:  General: plmap(mapform, type, minlong, maxlong,  minlat,  maxlat)  F95,  Java,  Perl/PDL,
       Python: Not implemented?

       This function is used in example 19.

ARGUMENTS

       mapform (void (*) (PLINT, PLFLT *, PLFLT *), input)
              A  user  supplied  function  to  transform  the  coordinate   longitudes  and  latitudes to a plot
              coordinate system.   By using this transform, we can change from a longitude,  latitude coordinate
              to  a  polar  stereographic  project, for  example.  Initially, x[0]..[n-1] are the longitudes and
              y[0]..y[n-1]  are the corresponding latitudes.  After the call to mapform(), x[]  and  y[]  should
              be  replaced  by  the corresponding plot coordinates.   If no transform is desired, mapform can be
              replaced by NULL.

       type (const char *, input)
              type is a character string. The value of this parameter determines the  type  of  background.  The
              possible values are: "globe" -- continental outlines "usa" -- USA and state boundaries "cglobe" --
              continental outlines and countries "usaglobe" -- USA, state boundaries and continental outlines

       minlong (PLFLT, input)
              The value of the longitude on the left side of the plot.  The value of minlong must be  less  than
              the value of maxlong, and the  quantity maxlong-minlong must be less than or equal to 360.

       maxlong (PLFLT, input)
              The value of the longitude on the right side of the plot.

       minlat (PLFLT, input)
              The  minimum  latitude to be plotted on the background.   One can always use -90.0 as the boundary
              outside the plot window  will be automatically eliminated.  However, the program will  be   faster
              if one can reduce the size of the background plotted.

       maxlat (PLFLT, input)
              The  maximum  latitudes to be plotted on the background.   One can always use 90.0 as the boundary
              outside the plot window  will be automatically eliminated.
