IDPLTR(3NCARG)

✨ IDPLTR ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the internet 💖 this one's IDPLTR, and yes it's giving very specific but honestly so iconic of it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Plots the triangulation generated by a prior call to either IDBVIP or IDSFFT. 🎀

like... it literally just draws the triangle mesh your earlier call already built. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

CALL IDPLTR (NDAT,XDAT,YDAT,IWRK)

---

✨ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_idbvip (int ndat, float *xdat, float *ydat, float *iwrk)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the whole cast of arguments, and bestie you GOTTA read them all, every single one:

• NDAT — Number of data points (argument NDP from a prior call to IDBVIP or IDSFFT).
• XD — Array of dimension NDP containing the X coordinates of the data points (from prior call to IDBVIP or IDSFFT).
• YD — Array of dimension NDP containing the Y coordinates of the data points (from prior call to IDBVIP or IDSFFT).
• ZD — Array of dimension NDP containing the Z coordinates of the data points (from prior call to IDBVIP or IDSFFT).
• IWRK — Integer work array of dimension at least 31*NDP + NIP (argument IWK from prior call to IDBVIP or IDSFFT).

lowkey important, don't skip this: the caller is responsible for doing the SET call required to map the triangles to the correct position on the plotter frame. that's on YOU, not on the routine. 🫶

also: some triangle edges are drawn twice. no attempt is made to prevent this. it's just how it is, bestie. 💀

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. same vibes, different font. periodt.

---

👑 ACCESS 👑

To use IDPLTR or c_idpltr, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order. in that order fr fr, don't be chaotic. ✨

okay that's the whole page, you ate that 🎀 the source is UNIX, dated November 1995, and the page itself is IDPLTR(3NCARG) — go plot those triangles, main character. 💅✨🦋
