Summary of procedures for IDL Version 2 UTPLOT package October 3, 1991. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For a complete explanation of the UTPLOT package, type UTHELP,/LONG in IDL. UTHELP, [/LONG] Type description of UTPLOT routines. UTPLOT, X, Y [, 'UTBASE', LABELPAR=LBL, /SAV, TICK_UNIT=TICK, MINORS=MINORS, /NOLABEL, and all keywords available to plot] Plot X vs Y with UT labels. UTPLOT_IO, X, Y [, 'UTBASE', LABELPAR=LBL, /SAV, TICK_UNIT=TICK, MINORS=MINORS, /NOLABEL, and all keywords available to plot] Plot X vs Y semi-log with UT labels. SET_UTPLOT, [XRANGE=X, LABELPAR=LBL, UTBASE='BASE', ERROR_RANGE=ERROR_RANGE, ERR_FORMAT=ERR_FORMAT, TICK_UNIT=TICK, MINORS=MINORS, XSTYLE=XSTYLE] Prepares IDL system variables (!X.RANGE, !X.TICKV, !X.TICKNAME, and !X.TICKNAME) for plotting X vs Y with Universal time labels After calling SET_UTPLOT, user calls the standard IDL PLOT routine to draw the plot. CLEAR_UTPLOT Restores !X... structure to value prior to using UTPLOT with /SAV option or SET_UTPLOT. SET_UTLABEL, IFLAG IFLAG = 0/1 means don't/do write start time label on plot. Default is 1. SETUT, [UTBASE='UTBASE', UTSTART='UTSTART', UTEND='UTEND', ERROR=ERROR, SET_UTPLOT=SET] Set base,start, or end time in common UTCOMMON. GETUT, [UTBASE='BASE', UTSTART='START', UTEND='END', /STRINGIT, /PRINTIT] Retrieve base, start, or end time from common UTCOMMON. GETUTBASE (0) Function to retrieve value of utbase in double precision seconds from common UTCOMMON without having to declare common. SETUTBASE [,'UTBASE', ERROR=ERROR] Set base time. SETUTSTART [,'UTSTART', ERROR=ERROR] Set start time. SETUTEND [,'UTEND', ERROR=ERROR] Set end time. ATIME (UT, [/PUB]) Function to convert time to ASCII string. UTPLOT_UTIME ('UTSTRING') Function to convert ASCII string to double precision seconds since 79/1/1, 0000. (For a hardcopy of this information, print the file IDL_DIR:[LIB.UTPLOT]UTPLOT_SHORT.TXT.)
