HSTOPL - Turns options off and on for the Histogram utility.
Contents
Access
To use HSTOPL or c_hstopl, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in
that order.
C-Binding Description
The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions.

Description
STRING Character, input -- Selects an internal parameter. The possibilities are:
´HOR=ON´ or ´HOR=OFF´
´PER=ON´ or ´PER=OFF´
´MID=ON´ or ´MID=OFF´
´SHA=ON´ or ´SHA=OFF´
´DRL=ON´ or ´DRL=OFF´
´MED=ON´ or ´MED=OFF´
´NMV=ON´ or ´NMV=OFF´
´PMV=ON´ or ´PMV=OFF´
´PRM=ON´ or ´PRM=OFF´
´FRA=ON´ or ´FRA=OFF´
´LIS=ON´ or ´LIS=OFF´
´DEF=ON´ or ´DEF=OFF´
The following options are defined by this subroutine:
HOR The histogram bars are drawn horizontally if ´HOR=ON´, vertically if ´HOR=OFF´. The
default is ´HOR=OFF´.
PER If ´PER=ON´, a labeled percent axis is drawn on the right side of the histogram (top
if ´HOR=ON´.) If ´PER=OFF´, no percent axis is drawn. The default is ´PER=ON´.
This places a second axis on the opposite side of the frame from the normal frequency
axis.
MID If ´MID=ON´, class labels are placed at the midpoint of each class interval. If
´MID=OFF´, the class interval end points are labeled. (MID defaults to ON if IFLAG =
2 or 3.) The default is ´MID=ON´.
SHA If ´SHA=ON´, the histogram bars are shaded. If ´SHA=OFF´, the bars are not shaded.
The default is ´SHA=ON´.
Devices will vary as to how they interpret shading.
DRL If ´DRL=ON´, lines are drawn through the histogram bars where Y-axis tick marks would
occur. When comparing two datasets (IFLAG=3), lines are only drawn through the bars
associated with the first dataset. If ´DRL=OFF´, no lines are drawn. The default is
´DRL=OFF´.
MED If ´MED=ON´, a line is drawn through the median value of all points. If ´MED=OFF´,
this line is not drawn. MED does not apply when assigning Y-values to X-values; it is
valid only for IFLAG = 1 or 2. The default is ´MED=OFF´.
NMV If ´NMV=ON´, histogram bar percentages will be calculated with respect to the number
of input data values (NPTS) minus the number of detected missing values (MISS), or
NMVA = NPTS - MISS. If ´NMV=OFF´, histogram bar percentages will be normalized to
NPTS.
PMV If ´PMV=ON´, missing value counts will be written on the plot. If ´NMV=OFF´, they
will not.
PRM If ´PRM=ON´, a perimeter is drawn around the histogram. If ´PRM=OFF´, no perimeter
is drawn. The default is ´PRM=OFF´.
FRA If ´FRA=ON´, the frame is advanced automatically after the histogram is drawn. If
´FRA=OFF´, the frame is not advanced, and the user must call FRAME. The default is
´FRA=ON´.
LIS If ´LIS=ON´, all the options along with their values are printed on the standard
output. If ´LIS=OFF´, nothing is printed on the standard output. The default is
´LIS=OFF´.
DEF If ´DEF=ON´, ALL the options are reset to their default values. ´DEF=OFF´ has no
effect. All parameters begin at their default values.
Examples
Use the command "ncargex thstgr" to generate a three frame example of various types of histograms.
"ncargex thstmv" will show three examples of histograms with missing values in the input data.
Messages
See the histogram man page for a description of all Histogram error messages and/or informational
messages.
