AGDSHN(3NCARG)

💅 AGDSHN 💅 — the NCAR GRAPHICS era, bestie

okay so this one lives in the 3NCARG manual, and it's literally just a lil name-generator. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

AGDSHN — it's your little ✨hack✨ for generating the names of parameters in the group DASH/PATTERN., so you can drop them into calls to AGSETC and AGGETC. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

AGDSHN (IDSH)

---

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

char *c_agdshn (int idsh)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• IDSH — an input expression of type INTEGER, and it has to be between 1 and 26, inclusive. that's the vibe check. 👑

---

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

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

---

⭐ USAGE ⭐

okay so real talk: this routine doesn't draw anything, it just generates parameter names for you to use in calls to other routines. think of it as the group chat admin handing you the right @ mention so your message actually lands. 🫶

and if you want the complete list of parameters this utility has, go read the autograph_params man page, because there's a whole menu and I'm not about to gatekeep it. 🍓

---

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use AGDSHN or c_agdshn, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order, bestie, order matters, iykyk.

and listen: to get smoother curves, the ones drawn using spline interpolation, you also load libdashsmth.o. ✨

OR, alternative route, you can use the ncargf77 command to compile your program and load all the libraries above, and then, for smoother curves, use the -dashsmth option. pick your fighter. 🥊

not me ending this on a legal note but like… the license agreement said what it said, bestie, respect the paperwork 🙈

okay bye ily, this page is from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993, and it's AGDSHN(3NCARG) — go generate some names and slay 💜✨
