                                                             ; from NCL V6.2.0 onward.

	function GetFillColorIndex (
		cnlevels [*] : numeric,  
		indices  [*] : numeric,  
		value    [1] : numeric   
	)

	return_val  :  integer

Arguments

cnlevels

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

indices

A one-dimensional integer array of indices from a built-in color table

value

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 the selected color table.

Description

Will choose from a list of color table indices based upon a secondary scalar field.
