MapPlot example 5

How to create the ten different map projections

This mapping example was created using HLU C library calls, HLU FORTRAN library calls, and NCL. It demonstrates how to create the ten different map projections, with and without color fill. The names of the source files for this example are mp05c.c, mp05f.f, and mp05n.ncl.

Discussion

This module discusses how to create this example using HLU function calls and a resource file. The program demonstrates how to create the ten different MapPlot projections and then fill them by country.

The resource file used in this example is called mp05.res.

A detailed discussion of how this example works appears in its source code.

Creating the plot using HLU C library calls

The HLU C program that generates this plot is called mp05c.c.

Creating the plot using HLU FORTRAN library calls

The HLU FORTRAN program that generates this plot is called mp05f.f.

Creating the plot using NCL

The NCL script that generates this plot is called mp05n.ncl.

The data

This plot does not use any external data.

How to run this example

The examples are installed in the following locations:

You can copy this example and run it by typing "ng4ex mp05c", "ng4ex mp05f", or "ng4ex mp05n". A copy of the source file and resource file will be placed in your current working directory. The source code will be compiled and automatically run for you.
