nglogo

Draws various NCAR and UCAR logos on the given workstation.

Prototype

	procedure nglogo (
		wks  [1] : graphic,  
		x    [1] : float,    
		y    [1] : float,    
		size [1] : float,    
		type [1] : integer,  
		col1 [1] : integer,  
		col2 [1] : integer   
	)

Arguments

wks

A workstation identifier specifying where you want to draw the logo.

x

The X coordinate position, in NDC coordinates (between 0. and 1.), indicating where the X position of the center of the logo is to be positioned.

y

The Y coordinate position, in NDC coordinates (between 0. and 1.), indicating where the Y position of the center of the logo is to be positioned.

size

The height of the logo, expressed in NDC coordinates.

type

The logo type. The choices are:

  • 1 - An NCAR logo. This logo will be drawn in a single color if wks is not a PostScript workstation. A full color logo will be drawn to a PostScript or PDF workstation.
  • 2 - A UCAR logo (just the UCAR star symbol).
  • 3 - The text "NCAR" in Bell Gothic Black font.
  • 4 - The text "UCAR" in Bell Gothic Black font.
  • 5 - UCAR star logo, plus "UCAR" in Bell Gothic font at half the height of the star. In this case, the coordinate (X,Y) specifies the center of the star part of the logo.

col1

The color index to use for the logo color. For the NCAR logo on PostScript output, this argument is ignored.

col2

A secondary color index used only for logo type 5. For that type, the UCAR star logo is drawn using color index col1 and the text string "UCAR" is drawn using color index col2.

Description

The nglogo procedure allows you to position one of the available logos anywhere on the page, with a given size and color. output, and a one-color logo otherwise.

This function does not advance the frame.

Examples

The following code produces both a PostScript file and an NCGM file. It uses both ngezlogo and nglogo to output the five logo types and the NCAR logo in the lower right corner of the page.
