Title: PLANMAP. REV1; plots geochemical data in plan. [UNIVAC1108,1100; FORTRAN V (97%) and Assembly language (3%)]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6491169

PLANMAP, which consists of two interactive programs, PLAN-IO and PLAN-PLOT, is used to plot geochemical data in plan. Data are supplied by keyboard entry and can be listed, edited, and plotted. The input data consist of geochemical sample assay values and the coordinates that describe the locations of these samples. The output consists primarily of a plot that represents a map showing the data for one selected element or assay. The data may be modified in various ways, such as editing, adjusting assay value according to silicate content of sample, and mathematical function mapping. Various symbols may be selected to represent the sample locations on the plot. When producing the plot, the user interactively specifies parameters such as plot size, units, and scale factors. The data for one problem area may be saved and another retrieved, all under program control. Map section corner coordinates may be included as input data and either a keyboard or line printer listing of the data may be obtained, if desired.UNIVAC1108,1100; FORTRAN V (97%) and Assembly language (3%); EXEC8; 12,000 words of memory are required to execute PLAN-IO; RUNLP and PLAN-PLOT require 5,000 and 7,000 words, respectively. PLAN-IO requires a work file (unit 1) and a merge file (unit 2) on a direct-access file. RUNLP and PLAN-PLOT require the work file only..
