CPGETI(3NCARG)

💖 CPGETI 💖 — the NCAR Graphics girlies' guide to peeking at your Conpack params

okay so bestie, welcome to CPGETI, a little routine from the NCAR Graphics manual (the 3NCARG girlies know 💅). She's giving "quiet overachiever": you ask her for a parameter's value, she hands it over, no drama. Let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

CPGETI — retrieves the integral value of an internal parameter of type INTEGER or REAL.

like she literally just goes and gets the integer for you. iconic behaviour, no notes 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL CPGETI (PNAM, IVAL)

---

✨ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_cpgeti (char *pnam, int *ival)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• PNAM — (CHARACTER, input) the name of the parameter whose integer value you're tryna retrieve. ⚠️ only the first three characters of PNAM get examined, so the rest is basically ✨decorative✨ — but it's recommended you use the rest of the string to make your code readable, because future you is a real one and she deserves clarity. Example: instead of just 'LLP', use 'LLP - LINE LABEL POSITIONING'. do it for her 🥺
• IVAL — (INTEGER, output) the variable where the value of the parameter named by PNAM gets returned. so:
  • if the internal parameter is a value "i" of type INTEGER, the value returned is "i". easy.
  • if the internal parameter is a value "r" of type REAL, the value returned is "INT(r)". yes bestie, she truncates it. that's the vibe 💅

---

✨ C-BINDING DESCRIPTION ✨

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. same energy, different language, we love consistency 💜

---

✨ USAGE ✨

This routine lets you retrieve the current value of Conpack parameters. 🎀 For a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the conpack_params man page — she's got the whole menu, iykyk.

---

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples, bestie — there's a lot of them and they all ate:

---

✨ ACCESS ✨

To use CPGETI or c_cpgeti, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. order matters, don't be chaotic about it 🙈

---

✨ MESSAGES ✨

See the conpack man page for a description of all Conpack error messages and/or informational messages. if she's yelling at you, the answers live there 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie — this one came from the NCAR Graphics crew, dated March 1993 on the UNIX side, and she still slays 💖✨ go get those integers, you absolute icon 👑
