AGCHIL(3NCARG)

📦 version 6.6.2, in epel 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

AGCHIL — bestie, this is the NCAR Graphics hook that lets you change the color, intensity, text style, etc., of the informational labels. 💅 It's giving "glow-up for your label text."

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

SUBROUTINE AGCHIL (IFLG,LBNM,LNNO)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so here's the tea on the three things you hand it:

  • IFLG — an input expression of type INTEGER. It's zero if a particular object is about to be drawn, and non-zero if it has just been drawn. It's basically the "before pic / after pic" switch. 📸
  • LBNM — an input expression of type CHARACTER. This is the name of the label being drawn. The label's name-tag, if you will. 🏷️
  • LNNO — an input expression of type INTEGER. This is the number of the line being drawn. Which line, bestie. 👑

💖 USAGE 💖

So here's the thing — you do not call this routine from your own program. Autograph calls it itself, right before and right after each informational-label line gets drawn. Iconic behavior, honestly.

The default version? Does absolutely nothing. Zero. Zilch. A true minimalist. 🙈

But you can supply your own version to change the appearance of selected lines of text. Cherry-pick which labels get the makeover. 💅✨

⚠️ Note: a user version of AGCHIL should not call any other Autograph routine. Not one. Not even a little one. Don't do it, bestie. 😭

🦋 ACCESS 🦋

To use AGCHIL, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. Order matters, fr fr. 🫶
