Chapter 19. The Specialized Fortran API for PLplot

Table of Contents

plcont: Contour plot for Fortran
plshade: Shaded plot for Fortran
plshades: Continuously shaded plot for Fortran
plvect: Vector plot for Fortran
plmesh: Plot surface mesh for Fortran
plot3d: Plot 3-d surface plot for Fortran
plparseopts: parse arguments for Fortran
plsesc: Set the escape character for text strings for Fortran

The purpose of this Chapter is to document the API for each Fortran function in PLplot that differs substantially (usually in argument lists) from the common API that has already been documented in Chapter 17, The Common API for PLplot.

Normally, the common API is wrapped in such a way for Fortran that there is and one-to-one correspondence between each Fortran and C argument with the exception of arguments that indicate array sizes (see Chapter 10, Fortran Language for discussion). However, for certain routines documented in this chapter the Fortran argument lists necessarily differ substantially from the C versions.

This chapter is incomplete and NEEDS DOCUMENTATION.
