XYPlot Remarks (XForms (Forms Library) - Version 1.2 (Rev. 4) A Graphical User Interface Toolkit for X)

Previous: XYPlot Attributes, Up: XYPlot Object [Contents][Index]

#### 21.2.6 Remarks

The interpolation routine is public and can be used in the application program

    int fl_interpolate(const float *inx, const float *iny, int num_in,
                       float *outx, float *outy, double grid, int ndeg);

If successful, the function returns the number of points in the interpolated function (`(inx[num_in - 1] - inx[0]) / grid + 1.01`), otherwise it returns -1. Upon return, `outx` and `outy` are set to the interpolated values. The caller must allocate the storage for `outx` and `outy`.

See `xyplotall.c` and `xyplotactive.c` for examples of the use of XYPlot objects. There is also an example program called `xyplotover.c`, which shows the use of overlays. In addition, `xyplotall.c` shows a way of getting all mouse clicks without necessarily using an active XYPlot.

It is possible to generate a PostScript output of an XYPlot. See the function `fl_object_ps_dump()` documented in Part V.
