ARGETI(3NCARG)

💖 ARGETI — it's giving "get that int, bestie" 💖

NCAR GRAPHICS manual page, section 3NCARG, and no I will not stop talking about it. This is ARGETI from the NCAR Graphics crew — the little routine that reaches into your Areas parameters and pulls out an integer for you. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ARGETI — retrieves the integer value of an Areas parameter. That's the whole job. She's focused. She's booked and busy. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL ARGETI (PNAM,IVAL)

---

✨ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_argeti (char *pnam, int *ival)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• PNAM — (an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER) — bestie, this is the name of the parameter you wanna retrieve. The character string can be any length you want, but lowkey only the first two characters of it will be examined. Two. That's it. That's the vibe check. 🙈
• IVAL — (an output variable of type INTEGER) — an integer variable that receives the desired parameter value. Here's the tea ☕: if the internal parameter is of type INTEGER and has the value "i", IVAL will be given the value "i". And if the internal parameter is of type REAL and has the value "r", IVAL will be given the value "INT(r)". Not me translating reals into ints for you. ✨

---

✨ C-BINDING DESCRIPTION ✨

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. Same energy, different language. 🌈

---

✨ USAGE ✨

This routine allows you to retrieve the current value of Areas parameters. It's literally the "hey what's your current setting" of the Areas world. 🎀

For a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the areas_params man page. Go look, it's iconic. 👑

---

✨ ACCESS ✨

To use ARGETI or c_argeti, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order. Order matters, bestie, don't play with it. 🔥

---

✨ MESSAGES ✨

See the areas man page for a description of all Areas error messages and/or informational messages. If she's yelling, that's where the translation lives. 😭

A whole friend group of routines. argetr is the real-value sibling, arseti is the setter — iykyk. 🦋

And that's the page, bestie 💖 written back in March 1993 under UNIX, sitting in the NCAR GRAPHICS section of the ARGETI(3NCARG) manual. Slay, go get your integers. 🌸🫶✨
