f (PLFLT_MATRIX(3plplot), input)
A matrix containing data to be contoured.
nx,ny (PLINT(3plplot), input)
The dimensions of the matrix f.
kx,lx (PLINT(3plplot), input)
Range of x indices to consider where 0 <= kx-1 < lx-1 < nx. Values of kx and lx are one-based
rather than zero-based for historical backwards-compatibility reasons.
ky,ly (PLINT(3plplot), input)
Range of y indices to consider where 0 <= ky-1 < ly-1 < ny. Values of ky and ly are one-based
rather than zero-based for historical backwards-compatibility reasons.
clevel (PLFLT_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
A vector specifying the levels at which to draw contours.
nlevel (PLINT(3plplot), input)
Number of contour levels to draw.
pltr (PLTRANSFORM_callback(3plplot), input)
A callback function that defines the transformation between the zero-based indices of the matrix f
and the world coordinates.For the C case, transformation functions are provided in the PLplot
library: pltr0(3plplot) for the identity mapping, and pltr1(3plplot) and pltr2(3plplot) for
arbitrary mappings respectively defined by vectors and matrices. In addition, C callback routines
for the transformation can be supplied by the user such as the mypltr function in
examples/c/x09c.c which provides a general linear transformation between index coordinates and
world coordinates.For languages other than C you should consult the PLplot documentation for the
details concerning how PLTRANSFORM_callback(3plplot) arguments are interfaced. However, in
general, a particular pattern of callback-associated arguments such as a tr vector with 6
elements; xg and yg vectors; or xg and yg matrices are respectively interfaced to a linear-
transformation routine similar to the above mypltr function; pltr1(3plplot); and pltr2(3plplot).
Furthermore, some of our more sophisticated bindings (see, e.g., the PLplot documentation) support
native language callbacks for handling index to world-coordinate transformations. Examples of
these various approaches are given in examples/<language>x09*, examples/<language>x16*,
examples/<language>x20*, examples/<language>x21*, and examples/<language>x22*, for all our
supported languages.
pltr_data (PLPointer(3plplot), input)
Extra parameter to help pass information to pltr0(3plplot), pltr1(3plplot), pltr2(3plplot), or
whatever callback routine that is externally supplied.
