okay bestie, welcome to NCAR Graphics 💖 this is the Surface utility — it draws a perspective picture of a function of two variables, with hidden lines removed. no cap, it's giving "3D plot but make it dramatic" 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

Surface — a utility for drawing a perspective picture of a function of two variables with hidden lines removed. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

EZSRFC — draws a perspective picture of a function of two variables with hidden lines removed. The function is approximated by a two-dimensional array of heights. only use EZSRFC if the entire array is to be drawn, the data points are equally spaced in the X-Y plane, there are no stereo pairs, and scaling is chosen internally. it's the "just do it for me" option, lowkey iconic 💅

PWRZS — a character-plotting routine for plotting characters in three-space when you're using SRFACE. yes bestie, actual characters, floating in 3D space 🌈

SETR — establishes certain constants so that SRFACE produces a picture whose size changes with respect to the viewer's distance from the object. it can also be used when making a movie of an object evolving in time to keep it positioned properly on the screen, saving computer time in the bargain 🎬 call it with r0 negative to turn off this feature.

SRFACE — draws a perspective picture of a function of two variables with hidden lines removed. The function is approximated by a two-dimensional array of heights. this is the main character 👑

🫶 ACCESS 🫶

To use Surface routines, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order. order matters, bestie, don't do them out of sequence 🙈
