TickMark example 2
How to create a TickMark object with bottom and left ticks turned on
This example can be created using HLU C library calls, HLU FORTRAN library calls, or NCL. It demonstrates how to create a TickMark object with the bottom and left tick marks turned on. The names of the source files for this example are tm02c.c, tm02f.f, and tm02n.ncl.
Discussion
This module discusses how to create the previous plot using HLU function
calls or NCL. A resource file is included with this example, and it is
called tm02.res. This file shows
how to turn on tickmarks and set their extent.
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 tm02c.c.
Creating the plot using HLU FORTRAN library calls
The HLU FORTRAN program that generates this plot is called tm02f.f.
Creating the plot using NCL
The NCL script that generates this plot is called tm02n.ncl.
The data
This plot does not use any external data.
