Ubuntu Manpage: STUMXY - Maps a single point on the streamline from data to user coordinate space.

NAME

       STUMXY - Maps a single point on the streamline from data to user coordinate space.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       XDA         (REAL, input): The X coordinate of a point on the streamline in data
                   coordinate space.

       YDA         (REAL, input): The Y coordinate of a point on the streamline in data
                   coordinate space.

       XUS         (REAL, output): The X coordinate of the point in user coordinate space.

       YUS         (REAL, output): The Y coordinate of the point in user coordinate space.

       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

STUMXY 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 STUMXY as needed during the process of
creating a streamline. The default version of STUMXY 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.

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

IF (IMAP .EQ. <chosen_map_code>) THEN

...map XDA to XUS

...map YDA to YUS

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

RETURN

ENDIF

Note that after the return from STUMXY, Streamlines checks to ensure that XUS and YUS are
within the current boundaries of the user 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 STMPXY is the equivalent of
STUMXY; it has an identical interface and may serve as a model for your implementation.

ACCESS

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