GetFillColor

Chooses a color from a group of RGB triplets based upon a secondary scalar field (deprecated version).

Prototype

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"  ; This library is automatically loaded
                                                             ; from NCL V6.2.0 onward.
                                                             ; No need for user to explicitly load.

	function GetFillColor (
		cnlevels [*] : numeric,  
		cmap         ,           
		value    [1] : numeric   
	)

	return_val  :  integer

Arguments

A one-dimensional array of any numeric type equal to the contour levels of the scalar field.

As of NCL version 6.2.0, this can be an ncol x 3 array of RGB triplets, an ncol x 4 array of RGBA quadruplets, or a color map name, like "rainbow", or "amwg256". Prior to V6.2.0, this argument must be an ncol x 3 array of RGB triplets. It must contain at least three more colors than the length of cnlevels.

A scalar value equal to the single contour level for which a color is desired. Must be the same numeric type as cnlevels.

Return value

A scalar value equal to an index in cmap.

Description

This function will choose a color from cmap based upon a secondary scalar field. Color indexes 0 and 1 will not be used.

Deprecated, please use get_color_rgba or get_color_index.
