Re: Taller y-axis

Hi Lena,

I think what you want, instead of trying to call NGSET, is to call:

      CALL AGSETP ('GRAPH WINDOW.',GWND,4)

where GWND is an array with four elements that defines the shape of your rectangle in NDC coordinates.

For example:

      DATA (GWND(I),I=1,4) / 0.1 , 0.4 , 0.1 , 0.9 /

would give you a plot that is longer in the Y direction than the Y direction.

To get logarithmic axes:

      CALL AGSETI ('Y/LOGARITHMIC.',1)

See the attached program, which is a modification of example "agex06.f"

You can get the original version of this program by typing:

   ncargex agex06

It changes the size of the windows *and* creates log axes.
