This is a typical message relating to the available interfaces for plline. The
thing is that with Fortran 95 and beyond you can define a single interface name
to be applied to multiple implementations. The compiler looks at the actual
argument list and decides to use the implementation that matches that list (by
number of arguments and the type, kind and rank of each). If it can not find
any matching implementation, it will respond with a message like the above.
For the Fortran 95 bindings we have used the features provided by that standard
as much as possible. One is that arrays "know" their size. So the routine
plline queries the arrays xx and yy for their size and there is no need to pass
the size explicitly. That method is actually rather error-prone.
If you want to pass a section of the array only, you can use:
Call plline( xx(1:10), yy(1:10) )
For instance.
