The simplest form of plotting is to draw symbols (termed markers) at a set of points. This is performed by astMark, which is supplied with a set of physical coordinates at which to place the markers:
#include "ast.h" #define NCOORD 2 #define NMARK 10 double in[ NCOORD ][ NMARK ]; int type; ... astMark( plot, NMARK, NCOORD, NMARK, in, type );
Here, NMARK specifies how many markers to plot and NCOORD specifies
how many coordinates are being supplied for each
point. The
array ``in'' supplies the coordinates and the integer ``type''
specifies which type of marker to plot.
