The NCL routines are nothing more than wrappers around the Fortran versions of these functions, and hence are not intended to behave like other drawing interfaces in NCL, where you set resources to change plot options.
Three-Dimensional Graphics
These examples are generated by routines that are part of the
low-level TDPACK package,
which is a group of Fortran and C callable routines for projecting
objects from a 3-dimensional coordinate system having U, V, and W axes
to a 2-dimensional projection plane having X and Y axes and/or for
drawing the projections of those objects. This can be referred to
somewhat loosely as "drawing objects in three dimensions".
tdpack_1.ncl:
This example shows how to use the simplified tdez2d
procedure to draw a surface. The data are input as two 1D arrays,
and one 2D array of the same dimensions as the 1D arrays.
tdpack_2.ncl:
This example shows how to use the simplified tdez3d
procedure to draw an isourface. The data are input as three 1D arrays,
and one 3D array of the same dimensions as the 1D arrays.
tdpack_4.ncl: This example shows
how to create a surface and an isosurce shade them in different
colors.
tdpack_5.ncl: This example shows
how to create a several isosurfaces and shade them in different
colors. This example requires the data file tdpack5.bin.
