Access
To use WMDRRG or c_wmdrrg, 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 region.
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 region.
ITYPE (Character, Input) - Indicates the weather type to fill the region with, or a solid color.
ITYPE can be one of:
'T' for thunderstorms
'SH' for showers
'R' for rain
'F' for flurries
'SN' for snow
'I' for ice
'INDEXnn' where the number "nn" denotes a color index for a solid fill.
NC (Integer, input) - If NC is greater than 2, then the region resulting from the spline fit to
((X(I),Y(I)),I=1,N) will be clipped against the region in ((XC(I),YC(I)),I=1,NC). If no
clipping is to be done, then set NC equal to 1.
XC (Real, Input) - The X coordinates (specified in world coordinates) of NC points that specify
a clipping polygon for the region resulting from the spline fit to ((X(I),Y(I)),I=1,N), if NC
is greater than 2.
YC (Real, Input) - The Y coordinates (specified in world coordinates) of NC points that specify
a clipping polygon for the region resulting from the spline fit to ((X(I),Y(I)),I=1,N), if NC
is greater than 2.

Synopsis
CALL WMDRRG(N,X,Y,ITYPE,NC,XC,YC)
Usage
Set the values for the appropriate internal parameters before calling WMDRRG to produce the desired
region. The internal parameters that control the appearance of regions are: COL and RHT. As mentioned
above, the points specified in the X and Y arrays serve as control points for a spline curve that is
fitted to the input polygon. X(N) should equal X(1) and Y(N) should equal Y(1).
