The following general subroutines belong to the category PHYSICAL-COORDINATES:
``Calculations with physical coordinates'' In parentheses the name of the source file is given.
AXCOORD
Returns the coordinate type and units as returned by cotrans. (cotrans.c)
AXTYPE
The function axtype returns the type of axis, the natural units, secondary units and the projection type. (axtype.c)
AXUNIT
Returns the units of the physical coordinates of an axis in a set. (cotrans.c)
COTRANS
Transformation from grid coordinates to physical coordinates and vice versa. (cotrans.c)
DRAWAXIS
Label an axis with (transformed) coordinates (drawaxis.c)
factor
Factor returns the conversion factor between two different units (i.e. M en KM) (factor.c)
GDSBOX
GDSBOX prompts the user to define a box inside/around a subset. (gdsbox.c)
