SUBROUTINE SETDS3 (WIDTH,HEIGHT,DEPTH)
C$ (Set 3-D Normalized Device Coordinate Space)
C$ Define the normalized device coordinate space to be a box
C$ of size (WIDTH,HEIGHT,DEPTH), where each of the coordinates
C$ lies in the range 0.0..1.0. The NDC space is left-handed,
C$ with X positive to the right, Y positive upward, and Z
C$ positive away from the observer. The viewing volume will
C$ be mapped into the NDC space, and the rectangle of size
C$ (WIDTH,HEIGHT) will be mapped onto the viewing surface of
C$ the display device so that the entire rectangle is visible.
C$
C$ This is sometimes useful if the display surface is not
C$ square, and one wishes to maximize the size of the plot
C$ which can be fit on it. If the default NDC space of the
C$ unit cube where in effect, then the device driver would be
C$ forced to map NDC space into the largest square which could
C$ fit on the display surface, thus leaving part of the
C$ display surface unused.
C$
C$ At least one of (WIDTH,HEIGHT,DEPTH) must be unity, and
C$ neither WIDTH nor HEIGHT may be zero.
