Shgrid Examples


Overview

This module contains source codes for Shgrid examples.

The following list summarizes the examples:

The plotting subroutines used by the Fortran, C and NCL examples use NCAR Graphics.

If you are not using NCAR Graphics and want to draw the plots, you will have to substitute appropriate calls from the graphics package you are using.

Creating your own executable

If you have access to NCAR Graphics, you can create executables for all of the Fortran and C examples in one of two ways. The easiest is to use the ncargex utility, which is documented with a man page. The other way is to use either ncargf77 (for Fortran) or ncargcc (for C) to compile and execute the source codes.

If you are using NCAR Graphics and the C interface to Shgrid and you are compiling using ncargcc, then function prototypes for all Shgrid C functions are contained in a C header file. This can be accessed by inserting the line:

#include <ncarg/ngmath.h>
into your code.

If you are using NCAR Graphics, you can run all of the NCL examples for Shgrid using the ng4ex utility. The NCL examples utilize GSUN functions.

Example 1 -- find nearest points to a given point in 3-space.

Example 2 -- create an ellipsoidal isosurface.

Example 3 -- create a tube-shaped isosurface.
