AGGETR(3NCARG)

✨ AGGETR ✨ (aka the NCAR GRAPHICS era, AGGETR(3NCARG))

okay bestie, welcome to the group chat 💖 this is the page for AGGETR, and yes she's giving "small but mighty" energy because she does exactly one thing and she does it well.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

AGGETR — the way that a user program can go and retrieve the real value of a single parameter. just one. singular. one (1) parameter. no cap. 🎀

---

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

CALL AGGETR (TPGN,FUSR)

---

✨ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_aggetr (char *tpgn, float *fusr)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• TPGN — an input expression of type CHARACTER, and she is a parameter identifier, exactly like the ones described over in the AGGETP man page (iykyk). ⚠️ lowkey important: if you specify a group of more than one parameter, only the first element of that group will be retrieved by the call. the rest just sit there. minding their business. 💀
• FUSR — an output variable of type REAL, and she receives the real value of whatever parameter TPGN was pointing at. she's the main character of this whole operation honestly 👑

---

🎀 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🎀

the C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. literally the same. same vibes, different syntax, we love consistency fr fr 💜

---

🌈 USAGE 🌈

so this routine is how you retrieve the current value of Autograph parameters. that's the whole job. that's the assignment and she ate it 🔥

and if you want the complete list of parameters available in this utility? go read the autograph_params man page, bestie, she has the full menu 🍓

---

👑 ACCESS 👑

to use AGGETR or c_aggetr, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order, don't be chaotic about it 🙈

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

or — and this is the cute shortcut — you can use the ncargf77 command to compile your program and load the above libraries, and then, to get smoother curves, use the -dashsmth option. two paths, both valid, pick your fighter 💖

okay that's the whole page!! and for the sign-off, bestie, this lil icon is living in the UNIX manual, dated March 1993, filed under AGGETR(3NCARG) — so go forth, retrieve your real values, and slay 💅✨🌸
