SPHPLOT Name
SPHPLOT Purpose
Plot a curve in spherical polar coordinates.
Category
Calling Sequence
sphplot, lng, lat, rad, [code] Inputs
lng = array of longitudes. in
lat = array of latitudes in
rad = array of radii (may be a scalar). in
code = optional curve break code. in
1=pen down, 0=pen up (don't connect to last point).
Keyword Parameters
Keywords
COLOR=c plot color.
LINESTYLE=s plot linestyle.
Over-rides defaults for visible and hidden points.
THICK=t plot thickness.
/HIDDEN plot hidden points.
/ALL ignore visible hemisphere clipping, plot all.
MAXRAD=r clip points using a sphere of radius r.
/XYZ allows the call: sphplot, x, y, z, /xyz.
PSYM=p set plot symbol.
SYMSIZE=s set symbol size.
XOUT=x returns array of plotted data coordinate X.
YOUT=y returns array of plotted data coordinate Y.
PEN=p returns array of pen codes for XOUT, YOUT.

Notes
Notes: Call SPHINIT first to set sphere orientation and
point clipping to the visible hemisphere (def=front).
Point clipping may alternatively be done using a
clipping sphere defined by MAXRAD.
