8.2.9 UDSFMT

1.

Function

Specifies the format of the contour label.

2.

Call

CALL UDSFMT(CFMT)

3.

Explanation of Parameters

CFMT

(C*(*))

The specified format (shorter than 16 characters)

4.

Notes

(a)

For example, when you wish to make all contour labels integer types, then

CALL UDSFMT('(I8)').

(Since the characters are left aligned, the result is the same for example, with '(I12)',  if the label is shorter than 8 characters. The initial value is the option 'D' (an expression 4-to-5-characters long when the number of significant digits is 3), interpreted by the subroutine CHVAL (see section on FMTLIB in the user's manual for "MISC1").

(b)

The current format can be inquired with

CALL UDQFMT(CFMT).
