MAPLOT(3NCARG)

💖 MAPLOT — aka the glow-up your map outlines needed 💖

✨ NAME ✨

MAPLOT — draws geographical outlines. Slay.

🚨 okay so real talk first: this routine uses whichever old outline dataset is selected by the value of the internal parameter 'OU'. If you wanna access the new map database "Earth..1", which was created in 1998 (yes, it's giving vintage but make it fresh ✨), you have to call the EZMAPB routine MPLNDR instead. Not me letting you walk into the wrong function 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL MAPLOT

That's it. That's the whole thing. No arguments. Iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🎀 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_maplot()

C girlies, this one's for you 💜

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

MAPLOT has no arguments. Zero. None. She shows up, she does her thing, she leaves. Main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🌈 USAGE 🌈

So here's the vibe check 🫶:

• MAPLOT draws the continental and/or political outlines that get selected by the EZMAP parameter 'OU'.
• The parameter 'DO' decides whether you get solid lines or dotted lines.
• IMPORTANT bestie: if EZMAP needs initialization, or if there's an uncleared NCAR Graphics error hanging around, MAPLOT does absolutely nothing. Not a single line. She simply ✨declines✨. So clear your errors first, okay? 😭

⭐ ACCESS ⭐

To use MAPLOT or c_maplot, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order, no cap, the order matters 🙈
