contourmap

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

FILTER TYPE

OPTIONS

all X11 standard options, such as -display, are accepted.

-size size_of_window

This option is valid only in the GUI mode. It gives the size of a working window like -geometry but in cm (The system assumes you are using 72 dpi monitor).

-x range | -x_range range

-y range | -y_range range

-z range | -z_range range

The range is composed of two values devided by the character ",", or a single value if the axis is perpendicular to the cross cut plane. The unit of the range is the same as in cube axis which can be seen by the command cubheadls -axis. If the range is a single value even along the axis of map display, the range is automatically set to the whole area in the cub. Inversed range means mirror image.
Each key means range along each axis.

-pipe | - | -nopipe

The keywords -pipe or - gives the .cub flow for the following processes. The keyword -nopipe gives nothing for the following process.

-cut_plane xy|yz|zx| yx|zy|xz ]

Cut plane to show on screen. The meaning of axis can be seen by the command cubheadls -axis.

-contours start_lvl,stop_lvl,lvl_interval,line_type,thickness,color_name

A set of contours can be assigned. Later (right-side) parameters can be reduced. The parameters are separated by the character ",". The first and second parameters, start_lvl, stop_lvl mean the levels of the first and last contours, respectively. Their units are the same as in cube data value which is shown by the command cubheadls -data_value. The third parameter lvl_interval means level interval of contours, or contour step. Its unit is the same as start_lvl. The fourth parameter line_type means the type of line for contours and can be selected from "auto", "solid" or "dash". Auto means dashed lines for negative contour levels and solid lines for others. The fifth parameter thickness means the thickness/width of contour lines and its unit is points (1/72 inch). The sixth parameter color_name means color of the lines. The name of color should be used as the X11 standard. Unsupported color names are interpleted as black. You can use RGB value in hexadecimal between 00 and ff, if the name is started with the character "#".

-P printer

Give a name of printer like UNIX/Linux lpr command. The .prm file cannot accept this option keyword.

-F ps_file

Give a name of postscript file. With this option keyword the system gives only the postscript file and no hardcopy print out is not processed. Without this option keyword the system allocates the file temporaly and removes after printing. The output file is not overwriting protected. The .prm file cannot accept this option keyword.

DEFAULTS

-size 20x15 -prm contourmap.prm

-x, -y, -z

The map range is the whole range of the cube. Cross cut level is 0.

-cut_plane xy

-contours min_of_cube,max_of_cube,(max_of_cube-min_of_cube)/10,auto,0.2,black

The default filename for postscript is temporaly allocated and automatically removed after printing.

ENVIRONMENT

All environment parameters for X11, such as DISPLAY, are also valid.

PRINTER

The name of printer for hardcopy printing. The same as lpr command.

GUI

• MENU BAR

  next

  Go to the next step. The next step means the next profile or data processing for the next stage including exit.

  print

  Make a hardcopy printing of the window.

  quit

  No more process is applied.

  help

  The short help message will be appeared on another window. The presentation window may be in the xterm which you execute the command.

• MAIN WINDOW

  The slide bar at the right edge shows where along the perpendicular axis to the showing surface.

  Click on either arrow botton shifts a displayed surface by 1 pixel. Click in a blank part of the bar shifts the surface by 10 pixels. Click in a blank part of the bar with the cntl key shifts the surface to the maximum/minimum end.

SEE ALSO

BUGS

• The printer must the accept postscript file.
• The help button does not work.
• The keyword for hardcopy printing without showing X11 display should be given for both commands but not yet.
• Contour ploting should be more flexible.
• Dummy data are not treated properly.
