Calling Sequence
maplatlong_grid Inputs
Keyword Parameters
Keywords
XDELTA=d Longitude grid spacing in degrees (def=10).
YDELTA=d Latitude grid spacing in degrees (def=10).
GRIDPIX=n Approx grid spacing in pixels (def=100).
Use either XDELTA,YDELTA, or GRIDPIX but not both.
COLOR=clr Grid color (def=!p.color).
BOLD=bld Bold text for labels (def=1).
LINESTYLE=sty = Grid linestyle (def=0).
THICKNESS=thk = Grid thickness (def=1).
/LABELS to display grid line labels.
CHARSIZE=csz Label character size (def=1).
LCOLOR=lclr Label color (def=!p.color).
MARGINS=mar Array of margins needed for the labels on
the four sides of the map, pixels (0=bottom,1=right,...).
/NOGRID do not plot grid (but do MARGINS).
/NOPLOT do not plot labels (but do MARGINS).
TICK=frac Tick length as fraction of distance from
label to side of window. /TICK gives 0.5
Outputs
Common Blocks
Notes
Note: When the grid is too dense to label each line the
labels start with the first grid line on each side of
the map window, working from the bottom counter-clockwise
and dropping labels if they crowd previous ones too much.
