Legend example 1
How to create a legend using default settings
This example demonstrates how to create a legend using the default settings. This example was generated using HLU C and HLU FORTRAN library calls and NCL. The names of the example codes that create this plot are lg01c.c, lg01f.f, and lg01n.ncl.
Discussion
This module demonstrates how to create a Legend object using mostly default settings. The available resources for this example are listed in a resource file called lg01.res.A detailed discussion of how this example works appears in its source code.
Creating the plot using HLU C library calls
The HLU C program that generates this plot is called lg01c.c.
Creating the plot using HLU FORTRAN library calls
The HLU FORTRAN program that generates this plot is called lg01f.f.
Creating the plot using NCL
The NCL script that generates this plot is called lg01n.ncl.
The data
This plot does not use any external data.
How to run this example
