AGBNCH(3NCARG)

AGBNCH 💅✨

okay so bestie, welcome to AGBNCH — that's a lil member of the NCAR Graphics family, living in section 3NCARG of the manual. she's here to give you the easiest possible glow-up: turning your binary dash patterns into character dash patterns. no cap, that's literally her whole thing. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

AGBNCH (IDSH)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

char *c_agbnch(int idsh)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• IDSH — an input expression of type INTEGER, and she has to be between 0 and 65535, inclusive. that's the range, bestie, don't be out here testing the boundaries 👑

💜 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 💜

the C-binding argument description is exactly the same as the FORTRAN argument description. same vibes, different language. periodt. 💅

---

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use AGBNCH or c_agbnch, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries:

• ncarg
• ncarg_gks
• ncarg_c

and pls load them preferably in that order, the universe is picky like that. 🌈

want smoother curves, drawn using spline interpolation? then also load libdashsmth.o. 🧚

OR — and this is the lazy-girl-friendlier route — you can use the ncargf77 command to compile your program and load all those libraries for you, and then, to get those smoother curves, just use the -dashsmth option. iconic behavior honestly. 💖

mwah 💋 that's the whole page! this one's from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993, and she's officially AGBNCH(3NCARG). go forth and dash, queen. ⭐🦋💖
