How to draw an annotated object outside its viewport

This is an introductory example that shows how to draw a plot object, including any annotations, outside its viewport within a predefined bounded area of NDC space.

Discussion

This module describes how to draw a plot within predetermined boundaries. The procedure draw_bounded_plot is intended to be useful in this context. There is no resource file for this example.

A detailed discussion about how to create the plot appears in the comments of the source code for the example.

Creating the plot using HLU C library calls

The C program that generates this plot is called basic08c.c.

Creating the plot using HLU FORTRAN library calls

The FORTRAN program that generates this plot is called basic08f.f.

Creating the plot using NCL

The NCL script that generates this plot is called basic08n.ncl.
