MAPBLM - Draws geographical outlines masked against an existing
area map. Note that this routine uses whichever old outline dataset is
selected by the value of the internal parameter 'OU'; to access the new map
database "Earth..1", which was created in 1998, one must call
instead the EZMAPB routine MPLNDM.
CALL MAPBLM (IAMA,XCRA,YCRA,MCRA,IAAI,IAGI,MNOG,ULPR)
#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>
void c_mapblm (int *iama, float *xcra, float *ycra,
int mcra, int *iaai, int *iagi, int mnog,
int (*ulpr)(float *xcra, float *ycra, int *ncs,
int *iaai, int *iagi, int *nai))
- IAMA
- (an input/output array, dimensioned as specified in a call to the AREAS
routine ARINAM, of type INTEGER) is the array containing the area map
against which boundary lines are to be masked. The area map must have been
initialized by a call to ARINAM; it should contain the edges required to
create a desired effect. For example, an area map might be created that
defines a region of interest, within which user data is available and
within which boundary lines are to be drawn. For more details, see the
reference document for the package named AREAS.
- XCRA and YCRA
- (scratch arrays, dimensioned at least MCRA, of type REAL) are to be used
by MAPBLM in calls to the AREAS routine ARDRLN; they will eventually be
used in calls to the user-provided line-processing routine ULPR.
- MCRA
- (an input expression of type INTEGER) is the dimension of the arrays XCRA
and YCRA.
- IAAI and IAGI
- (scratch arrays, dimensioned at least NOGI, of type INTEGER) are to be
used by MAPBLM in calls to the AREAS routine ARDRLN; they will eventually
be used in calls to the user-provided line-processing routine ULPR. The
mnemonics stand for "Integer Array of Area Identifiers" and
"Integer Array of Group Identifiers", respectively.
- NOGI
- (an input expression of type INTEGER) is the dimension of the arrays IAAI
and IAGI. The mnemonic stands for "Number Of Group Identifiers (of
edges in the area map)", which determines the required dimension of
IAAI and IAGI.
- ULPR
- is the name of the user-supplied line-processing routine. It must be
declared EXTERNAL in the routine that calls MAPBLM, so that the compiler
and loader will know that it is the name of a routine to be called instead
of a variable. The user routine ULPR will be called once for each piece of
a boundary line resulting from the masking process; it may decide to draw
(or to not draw) each such piece. ULPR will be called using a FORTRAN
statement like
CALL ULPR (XCRA,YCRA,NCRA,IAAI,IAGI,NGPS)
-
- where XCRA and YCRA are real arrays holding the normalized device
coordinates of NCRA points defining a polyline which is part of some
boundary line and IAAI and IAGI are integer arrays holding NGPS
area-identifier/group-identifier pairs for the area within which that
piece of the line lies. In writing ULPR, the user may rely upon a SET
call's having been done which makes it possible to use normalized device
coordinates in calls to routines like CURVE, CURVED, GPL, etc. For more
details, see the reference document for the package named AREAS and, in
particular, the description of the subroutine ARDRLN.
The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN
argument descriptions.
The statement
CALL MAPBLM (IAMA,XCRA,YCRA,MCRA,IAAI,IAGI,MNOG,ULPR)
does the same thing as the statement
except that the boundary lines are drawn using calls to MAPITM and
MAPIQM, which does the masking of the lines against the area map defined by
the arguments in the call and passes the pieces resulting from the masking
process to a user-provided line-drawing routine.

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