Access
To use WMDRFT or c_wmdrft, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in
that order.

Description
N (Integer, Input) - The number of points supplied in the second and third arguments.
X (Real, Input) - The X coordinates (specified in world coordinates) of N points that specify
the control points of a spline curve that will be fitted to represent the requested weather
front.
Y (Real, Input) - The Y coordinates (specified in world coordinates) of N points that specify
the control points of a spline curve that will be fitted to represent the requested weather
front.

Synopsis
CALL WMDRFT (N, X, Y)
Usage
Set the values for the appropriate internal parameters before calling WMDRFT to produce the desired
weather front. The internal parameters that control the appearance of weather fronts are: ALO, ARC, BEG,
BET, CFC, CS1, CS2, COL, DWD, END, FRO, LIN, NBZ, NMS, PAI, REV, SL1, SL2, SLF, STY, SWI, T1C, T2C, WFC,
and WTY. The possible fronts are: warm, warm aloft, cold, cold aloft, stationary, stationary aloft,
occluded, convergence line, instability line, intertropical. As mentioned above, the points specified in
the X and Y arrays serve as control points for a spline curve that is fitted between the first and last
point. The spline passes through the given points. If the desired front line is reasonably smooth, then
only a few input points need be specified.
