tdprpi

Retrieves the parallelogram coordinates of a point in the reference parallelogram, given a point in the projection plane (for use with selected TDPACK routines.)

Available in version 4.3.1 and later.

Prototype

	function tdprpi (
		xyi2d [2] : float   
	)

	return_val [2] :  float

Arguments

xyi2d

A float array of 2 elements specifying the coordinates of a point in the projection plane.

Return value

A float array of two elements containing the parallelogram coordinates of that point in the reference parallelogram that projects into (xyi2d(0), xyi2d(1)).

Description

This function is 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".

Please see the documentation on TDPRPI for a full description of this function.
