Title example 3

How to set Title font, color, and size resources

This example can be created using HLU C library calls, HLU FORTRAN library calls, or NCL. It demonstrates how to set the title font, color and size resources from within a resource file. The names of the source files for this example are ti03c.c, ti03f.f, and ti03n.ncl.

Discussion

This module discusses how to create this plot using HLU function calls or NCL. A resource file is included with this example, and it is called ti03.res. This file shows how to set the font, color, and size of each title.

A detailed discussion of how this example works appears in its source code.

Creating the plot using HLUs

The HLU C program that generates this plot is called ti03c.c.

Creating the plot using HLU FORTRAN library calls

The HLU FORTRAN program that generates this plot is called ti03f.f.

Creating the plot using NCL

The NCL script that generates this plot is called ti03n.ncl.

The data

This plot does not use any external data.

How to run this example

You can produce this example by using a C program (ti03c.c), a FORTRAN program (ti03f.f), or an NCL script (ti03n.ncl). The examples are installed in the following locations:

  • $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/hluex/title/ti03c.c
  • $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/hluex/title/ti03f.f
  • $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclex/title/ti03n.ncl
You can copy this example and run it by typing "ng4ex ti03c", "ng4ex ti03f", or "ng4ex ti03n". A copy of the source file and resource file will be placed in your current working directory. The source code will be compiled and automatically run for you.
