The overview man page ncargintro introduces all utilities in the package, and overview man pages for each utility introduce all routines in that utility. The ncargex command allows you to access more than 250 examples, and all of them are internally documented with comments. A pictorial index to all NCAR Graphics examples is provided as Appendix D of Fundamentals . Intro 1.2 Details about how information is presented in this manual This tutorial is divided into chapters for each of the three utilities. Each chapter is divided into sections, and each section contains modules.
Some modules fit on one page, and a few require four pages.
Reference guides throughout Each chapter starts with a series of quick reference tables that show all user entry points and parameters for the utility. More detailed parameter descriptions appear as the final section of each chapter. A functional outline for the utility is presented at the end of each chapter's first section and on the first page of each subsequent section. This outline shows the basic steps needed to run the utility. The steps to be discussed in that section are marked with asterisks to help you see how the concepts described in that section fit into any Fortran program using the utility.
