This routine applies the supplied attribute setting to the supplied Plot. The attribute setting should be of the form " name=value" where " name" is an AST attribute name or a synonym for an AST attribute name established by a call to KPG1_ASPSY, and " value" is the value to assign to the attribute. If the attribute name contains either COLOR or COLOUR then the value string is checked to see if it is the name of a colour, and if so, the corresponding colour index is used instead. The resulting setting, after translation of synonyms and colour names is applied to the supplied Plot. If the Plot already has a set value for the specified attribute, then the behaviour depends on OVER; if OVER is .TRUE. then the new attribute value over-writes the value already in the Plot; if OVER is .FALSE. then the supplied setting is ignored.

CALL KPG1_ASSTS( SETTNG, REPORT, OVER, IPLOT, BADAT, STATUS )

SETTING = CHARACTER $\ast$ ( $\ast$ ) (Given)

REPORT = LOGICAL (Given)

OVER = LOGICAL (Given)

IPLOT = INTEGER (Given)

BADAT = LOGICAL (Returned)

STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)

• Colour attribute values may be supplied in any form recognised by KPG1_PGCOL (e.g. colour name, MIN, MAX, integer index), and the nearest colour in the current KAPPA pallette is used.
