plw3d
: Set up window for 3-d plotting
Sets up a window for a three-dimensional surface plot within the
currently defined two-dimensional window. The enclosing box for the
surface plot defined by
xmin,
xmax,
ymin,
ymax,
zmin and
zmax in user-coordinate
space is mapped into a box of world coordinate size
basex by
basey by
height so that
xmin maps to
-basex/2,
xmax maps to
basex/2,
ymin maps to
-basey/2,
ymax maps to
basey/2,
zmin maps to
0 and
zmax maps to
height. The resulting
world-coordinate box is then viewed by an observer at altitude
alt and azimuth
az. This routine must be
called before plbox3
or plot3d
. For a more complete description
of three-dimensional plotting see the Section called Three Dimensional Surface Plots in Chapter 3.
