In version 3.2 of NCAR graphics' CONPACK, does the call
call CPSETR ('SFS - scale factor selector',1000.)
really do anything? According to the man page conpack_params(3):
'SFS' - Scale Factor Selector - Real
The scale factor is that value (usually, but not
necessarily, a power of 10) by which the actual values
of contour field values are to be divided to get the
value of a numeric label. If 'SFS' is given a value <<<<
greater than zero, that value is the scale factor to be <<<<
used. If 'SFS' is given a value less than or equal to
zero, it is truncated to form an integer directing
Conpack to select a scale factor, as follows:
But I've found it appears to ignore the setting and choses it's own
(e.g., I set it to 1000.0, but $SFU$ always comes back with 100.0).
In fact, if I do
call CPGETR ('SFS - scale factor selector',SFS)
call CPGETR ('SFU - scale factor used',SFU)
after the plot is drawn, the former returns 1000.0, but the latter
returns 100.0. This happens regardless of the setting of
CALL CPSETR ('CIS - CONTOUR INTERVAL SPECIFIER',cis)
i.e., cis can be positive, negative, or zero and I still get ignored.
Why? Is it especially finicky about where in the call sequence it gets
set? If it is a bug, does anyone know if 4.0 fixes it?
Thanks in advance for any information or advice.
