SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE PLOTT(Y,X,N)

       REAL(kind=wp),intent(in) :: X(:)
       REAL(kind=wp),intent(in) :: Y(:)
       INTEGER,intent(in)       :: N

DESCRIPTION

PLOTT(3f) yields a narrow-width (71-character) plot of Y(i) versus X(i). Its narrow width makes it appropriate for use on a terminal.
Note values in the vertical axis vector (y) or the horizontal axis vector (x) which are equal to or in excess of 10.0**10 will not be plotted.
This convention greatly simplifies the problem of plotting when some elements in the vector y (or x) are ’missing data’, or when we purposely want to ignore certain elements in the vector y (or x) for plotting purposes (that is, we do not want certain elements in y (or x) to be plotted). To cause specific elements in y (or x) to be ignored, we replace the elements beforehand (by, for example, use of the REPLAC(3f) subroutine) by some large value (like, say, 10.0**10) and they will subsequently be ignored in the plot subroutine.
Note that the storage requirements for this (and the other) terminal plot subroutines are very small. This is due to the "one line at a time" algorithm employed for the plot.

INPUT ARGUMENTS

Y The vector of (unsorted or sorted) observations to be plotted vertically.

X The REAL vector of (unsorted or sorted) observations to be plotted horizontally.

N The integer number of observations in the vector Y. There is no restriction on the maximum value of N for this subroutine.

OUTPUT

A narrow-width (71-character) terminal plot of y(i) versus x(i). The body of the plot (not counting axis values and margins) is 25 rows (lines) and 49 columns.

EXAMPLES

Sample program:

     program demo_plott
     use M_datapac, only : plott, label
     implicit none
     integer ::  i
     integer,parameter :: dp=kind(0.0d0)
     real(kind=dp), allocatable ::  x(:), y(:)
        call label(’plott’)
        y=[(real(i)/10.0,i=1,30)]
        x=y**3.78-6*y**2.52+9*y**1.26
        call plott(x,y,size(x))
     end program demo_plott

Results:

The following is a plot of Y(I) (vertically) versus X(I) (horizontally) I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I 0.4000000E+01 - X X X X 0.3833356E+01 I X X 0.3666712E+01 I X 0.3500068E+01 I X 0.3333424E+01 I X 0.3166780E+01 I X 0.3000137E+01 - X 0.2833493E+01 I X 0.2666849E+01 I X 0.2500205E+01 I X 0.2333561E+01 I X 0.2166917E+01 I X 0.2000273E+01 - 0.1833629E+01 I 0.1666985E+01 I X X X 0.1500341E+01 I 0.1333698E+01 I X 0.1167054E+01 I 0.1000410E+01 - X 0.8337659E+00 I X X 0.6671220E+00 I 0.5004781E+00 I X X 0.3338342E+00 I X 0.1671903E+00 I X X 0.5463774E-03 - X X I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I 0.1000E+00 0.8250E+00 0.1550E+01 0.2275E+01 0.3000E+01
