NAME
VECT3 - Defines the second and all subsequent points in a sequence of points connected by straight-line
segments, the projections of which are to be drawn. (FRST3 is called for the first point in the sequence
and VECT3 is called for the rest.)
SYNOPSIS
CALL VECT3 (U,V,W)
C-BINDING SYNOPSIS
#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>
void c_vect3 (float u, float v, float w)
DESCRIPTION
U,V,W (input expressions of type REAL) are the coordinates of a point in 3-space to the projection
of which a line is to be drawn.
Each call to FRST3 moves a conceptual "pen" to the new starting point for a sequence of line draws. Each
call to VECT3 draws a line from the current pen position to a new pen position and then makes that the
current pen position.
Line segments are drawn in the current polyline color, as determined by the last call to the GKS routine
GSPLCI; by default, color index 1 is used. Line width is determined by the last call to the GKS routine
GSLWSC; by default, the value of the line width scale factor is 1.
Note that the routines FRST3 and VECT3 do not flush the SPPS pen-move buffer. In fact, to have them do
so would entirely defeat the purpose of that buffer. Therefore, if your last call was to the routine
VECT3 and you are about to call GKS routines to change color or line width, you must first call the SPPS
routine PLOTIF to flush the buffer; otherwise, the color and line width changes will affect line draws
flushed from the buffer later.
C-BINDING DESCRIPTION
The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions.
EXAMPLES
Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: fthex01, fthex02, fthex03.
ACCESS
To use VECT3 or c_vect3, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in
that order.
