PGPLOT Module: PGIMAG -- color image from a 2D data array


SUBROUTINE PGIMAG (A, IDIM, JDIM, I1, I2, J1, J2,
1 A1, A2, TR)
INTEGER IDIM, JDIM, I1, I2, J1, J2
REAL A(IDIM,JDIM), A1, A2, TR(6)

Draw a color image of an array in current window. The subsection
of the array A defined by indices (I1:I2, J1:J2) is mapped onto
the view surface world-coordinate system by the transformation
matrix TR. The resulting quadrilateral region is clipped at the edge
of the window. Each element of the array is represented in the image
by a small quadrilateral, which is filled with a color specified by
the corresponding array value.

The subroutine uses color indices in the range C1 to C2, which can
be specified by calling PGSCIR before PGIMAG. The default values
for C1 and C2 are device-dependent; these values can be determined by
calling PGQCIR. Note that color representations should be assigned to
color indices C1 to C2 by calling PGSCR before calling PGIMAG. On some
devices (but not all), the color representation can be changed after
the call to PGIMAG by calling PGSCR again.

Array values in the range A1 to A2 are mapped on to the range of
color indices C1 to C2, with array values <= A1 being given color
index C1 and values >= A2 being given color index C2. The mapping
function for intermediate array values can be specified by
calling routine PGSITF before PGIMAG; the default is linear.

On devices which have no available color indices (C1 > C2),
PGIMAG will return without doing anything. On devices with only
one color index (C1=C2), all array values map to the same color
which is rather uninteresting. An image is always "opaque",
i.e., it obscures all graphical elements previously drawn in
the region.

The transformation matrix TR is used to calculate the world
coordinates of the center of the "cell" that represents each
array element. The world coordinates of the center of the cell
corresponding to array element A(I,J) are given by:

X = TR(1) + TR(2)*I + TR(3)*J
Y = TR(4) + TR(5)*I + TR(6)*J

Usually TR(3) and TR(5) are zero -- unless the coordinate
transformation involves a rotation or shear. The corners of the
quadrilateral region that is shaded by PGIMAG are given by
applying this transformation to (I1-0.5,J1-0.5), (I2+0.5, J2+0.5).
