MapPlot example 5
How to create the ten different map projections
This mapping example was created using HLU C library calls, HLU FORTRAN library calls, and NCL. It demonstrates how to create the ten different map projections, with and without color fill. The names of the source files for this example are mp05c.c, mp05f.f, and mp05n.ncl.
Discussion
This module discusses how to create this example using HLU function
calls and a resource file. The program demonstrates how to create the
ten different MapPlot projections and then fill them by country.The resource file used in this example is called mp05.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 mp05c.c.
Creating the plot using HLU FORTRAN library calls
The HLU FORTRAN program that generates this plot is called mp05f.f.
Creating the plot using NCL
The NCL script that generates this plot is called mp05n.ncl.
The data
This plot does not use any external data.
