NAME

       CONOP1 - sets option switches for the Conran_family utility.

SYNOPSIS

       CALL CONOP1 (IOPT)

DESCRIPTION

       IOPT        Character, input -- Selects an internal parameter and sets an option switch.
                   The possibilities are:

                    'DEF'
                    'EXT=ON' or 'EXT=OFF'
                    'GRI=ON' or 'GRI=OFF'
                    'ITP=C1' or 'ITP=LIN'
                    'LAB=ON' or 'LAB=OFF'
                    'LOT=ON' or 'LOT=OFF'
                    'MES=ON' or 'MES=OFF'
                    'PDV=ON' or 'PDV=OFF'
                    'PER=ON' or 'PER=OFF'
                    'PMM=ON' or 'PMM=OFF'
                    'PSL=ON' or 'PSL=OFF'
                    'REP=ON' or 'REP=OFF'
                    'SCA=ON' or 'SCA=OFF' or 'SCA=PRI'
                    'TFR=ON' or 'TFR=OFF'
                    'TOP=ON' or 'TOP=OFF'
                    'TRI=ON' or 'TRI=OFF'

                   The following options are defined by this subroutine:

       DEF         This option resets ALL parameters to their default values.  DEF has no 'ON' or
                   'OFF' states.

                   To activate: CALL CONOP1('DEF')

       EXT         Parameter to set extrapolation.  Normally all CONRAN versions will only plot
                   the boundaries of the convex hull defined by the user's data.  To have the
                   contours fill the rectangular area of the frame, set the EXT switch ON.  The
                   default is OFF.

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('EXT=ON')

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('EXT=OFF')

       GRI         The parameter to display the grid.  GRI is OFF by default.

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('GRI=ON')

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('GRI=OFF')

                   Note: If GRI=ON, the virtual grid will be superimposed over the contour plot.
                   The X and Y tick intervals will be displayed under the map only if PER=ON.
                   (see PER)

       ITP         Set the interpolation scheme.  There are two schemes  --  C1 surfaces and
                   linear.  The C1 method takes longer but will give the best results when the
                   data is sparse (less than 100 points).  The linear method will produce a
                   better plot when there is a dense data set.  The default is C1 surface.

                   For C1 surface CALL CONOP1('ITP=C1')

                   For linear  CALL CONOP1('ITP=LIN')

       LAB         This parameter can be set to either label the contours (LAB=ON) or not
                   (LAB=OFF).  The default value is LAB=ON.  (Does not apply to entry CONRAQ.)

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('LAB=ON')

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('LAB=OFF')

       LOT         The parameter to list options on the printer.  The default value is OFF: no
                   options are displayed.

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('LOT=ON')

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('LOT=OFF')

                   Note: Print is directed to the standard output unit.

       MES         The parameter to plot a message.  The default is ON.

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('MES=ON')

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('MES=OFF')

                   Note: If MES=ON, a message is printed below the plot giving contour intervals
                   and execution time in seconds.  If PER or GRI is ON, the message also contains
                   the X and Y tick intervals.

       PDV         The parameter to plot the input data values.  The default value is PDV=OFF.

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('PDV=ON')

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('PDV=OFF')

                   Note: If PDV=ON, the input data values are plotted relative to their location
                   on the contour map.  If you only wish to see the locations and not the values,
                   set PDV=ON and change FMT to produce an asterisk (*) such as (I1).

       PER         The parameter to draw a perimeter.  The default value is PER=ON, which causes
                   a perimeter to be drawn around the contour plot.

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('PER=ON')

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('PER=OFF')

                   Note: If MES is ON, the X and Y tick intervals will be given.  These are the
                   intervals in user coordinates that each tick mark represents.

       PMM         The parameter to plot relative minima and maxima.  (Does not apply to entry
                   CONRAQ.)  This parameter is OFF by default.

                   To turn off:  CALL CONOP1('PMM=OFF')

                   To turn on:  CALL CONOP1('PMM=ON')

       PSL         The parameter which sets the plot shield option.  The outline of the shield
                   will be drawn on the same frame as the contour plot.  (Does not apply to entry
                   CONRAQ.)  By default this option is OFF.

                   Draw the shield: CALL CONOP1('PSL=ON')

                   Don't draw it: CALL CONOP1('PSL=OFF')

                   Note:  See parameter SLD using "man conop3" to see how the polygon is entered
                   which defines the shield.

       REP         The parameter indicating the use of the same data in a new execution.  The
                   default value is OFF.

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('REP=ON')

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('REP=OFF')

                   Note: If REP=ON, the same X-Y data and triangulation are to be used, but it is
                   assumed that the user has changed the contour values or resolution for this
                   run.  Scratch arrays WK and IWK must remain unchanged.

       SCA         The parameter for scaling of the plot on a frame.  This parameter is ON by
                   default.

                   User scaling:  CALL CONOP1('SCA=OFF')

                   Program scaling: CALL CONOP1('SCA=ON')

                   Prior window:  CALL CONOP1('SCA=PRI')

                   If SCA=OFF, plotting instructions are issued using the user's input
                   coordinates.  SCA=OFF should be used to interface with EZMAP.  If SCA=ON, a
                   viewport is established such that the plot will fit into the center 90 percent
                   of the frame.  If SCA=PRI, the program maps the user's plot instructions into
                   the portion of the frame defined by the current normalization transformation.

       TFR         The parameter to advance the frame before triangulation.  The default value is
                   TFR=ON, which means that the contours and the triangles will be plotted on
                   separate frames.

                   If program set: CALL CONOP1('TFR=ON')

                   To turn off:  CALL CONOP1('TFR=OFF')

                   Note: Triangles are plotted after the contouring is completed.  To see the
                   triangles over the contours, set TFR=OFF.

       TOP         The parameter to plot only the triangles.

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('TOP=OFF')

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('TOP=ON')

                   Setting TOP=ON causes parameters TRI and TFR to be set to TRI=ON, and TFR=OFF.
                   Setting TOP=OFF results in TRI=OFF and TFR=ON.  If another setting is wanted
                   for either TRI or TFR, it should be reset after the TOP call.

                   Note: The user may wish to overlay the triangles on some other plot.  'TOP=ON'
                   will allow that.

       TRI         The parameter to plot the triangulation.  The default is OFF and therefore the
                   triangles are not drawn.

                   To turn on: CALL CONOP1('TRI=ON')

                   To turn off: CALL CONOP1('TRI=OFF')

                   Note: Plotting the triangles will indicate to the user where good and bad
                   points of interpolation are occurring in the contour map.  Equilateral
                   triangles are optimal for interpolation.  Quality degrades as triangles
                   approach a long and narrow shape.  The convex hull of the triangulation is
                   also a poor point of interpolation.

USAGE

       CONOP1 is called to toggle Conran_family options before entries CONRAN, CONRAQ, or CONRAS
       are called to generate the contour plot.

EXAMPLES

       Use the command ncargex to see the following examples: tconaq, tconan, and tconas.

ACCESS

       To use CONOP1 load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably
       in that order.
