MPIPAR - Given the area identifier of one of the areas defined by whatever database was last read by one

       To use MPIPAR or c_mpipar, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably  in
       that order.

       The C-binding argument description is the same as the FORTRAN argument description.

       #include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

       int c_mpipar (int iain)

       IAIN        is  an  input expression of type INTEGER, specifying the area identifier of a particular area
                   of interest.

       Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant example: mpex12.

       MPIPAR - Given the area identifier of one of the areas defined by whatever database was last read by one
       of the EZMAPB routines MPLNAM, MPLNDM, MPLNDR, and MPLNRI, this function returns the area identifier of
       that area's containing (parent) area.

       IPAR=MPIPAR(IAIN)

       The statement "IPAR=MPIPAR(IAIN)" retrieves in IPAR the area identifier of the parent of  the  area  with
       area  identifier IAIN.  For example, if IMAD is the area identifier of the little island in Lake Superior
       called "Lake Madeline", then MPIPAR(IMAD) is the area identifier of the area called "Wisconsin".
