bol - Border line
Name
bol — Border line
Syntax
bol [linewidth] [nrg] [sav] [tub] [col] [edge] [fang] [flat] [sma] [nodraw]
Description
Generate and draw a border line around a grid or a triangle structure. The border line may be used to outline the grid for display purposes, or it may be extracted as a separate dataset (argument nrg) for further use.
Arguments
linewidth
Draw border line with line width linewidth where linewidth is [1, 2, 3 ..]. 1 is the thinnest line, one pixel in width.
nrg
Apply no regridding (decimation) of the grid.
col red | blu | gre |pin | tur | yel | whi | bla | bro
Display the border line in color red / blue / green / pink / turquoise / yellow / white / black / brown
sav
Save the border line in workspace ^bol. Make it active by mlo ^bol. The saved border line contains many cells or line pieces. To sort the line pieces together into a continuous line do the command mak sortpl. This is necessary if one wants the border to be one consecutive line.
tub [factor]
Display border line as a tube. The factor is a number larger than 0, relative to 1 (default), giving the thickness of the tube.
edge
Display internal and external edges of the dataset.
fang feature_angle
Controls the edge finding property. feature_angle is ...? The old Geocap logo uses fang 60.
flat level
The border line result is displayed at z-level level. E.g. bol flat 200 will display the border line at z=200.
sma
The border line is produced with the sma contouring command. That means the border is sorted sequentially.
nodraw
No display of border result. Often used with argument sav, where the border line is saved in a workspace.
Examples
Ex.1: Borderline around grid
# read any grid bol 3 col red col bla pol x sel 10 ;# draw every 10th gridline in x-direction col bla pol y sel 10 ;# draw every 10th gridline in y-direction
Red border line from bol 3 col red
Border line produced by Additional Display > Border line, blue

Ex.2: Border line in old logo
