DPLAST(3NCARG)

💖 DPLAST — bestie, we're closing the curve 💖

okay so picture this: you're in NCAR Graphics (the 3NCARG girlies know), you've been dropping points left and right, and now you need to be like "yeah babe that's the last one, wrap it up." That's DPLAST. She's the final DPVECT call's hype woman.

DPLAST says that the preceding call to DPVECT defined the final point in a sequence of points — in the user coordinate system, bestie — that define a curve to be drawn. That's it. That's the whole job. And she eats. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL DPLAST

no arguments, no drama, just vibes 🦋

---

🌈 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🌈

for my C girlies:

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_dplast ();

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

There are no arguments. Zero. None. Nada. She's that low-maintenance. 🫶

💜 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 💜

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions — which, as we just established, is nothing at all. Iconic behaviour honestly. ✨

---

🌸 USAGE 🌸

okay so here's the whole routine, in order, don't skip steps:

1. Call DPFRST to do a "pen-up" move to the first of a sequence of points defining a curve.
2. Call DPVECT to do "pen-down" moves to each of the other points in the sequence.
3. Call DPLAST to finish drawing the curve and flush the buffers.

that's the trio. the holy trinity. the main character arc. 🧚

not me stressing that step three is literally the whole point of this page 💀 if you skip DPLAST, your curve is just out there, unflushed, unfinished, lowkey ghosting you.

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: tdshpk.

(go look at tdshpk, she's cute, she shows you the whole flow fr fr 🔥)

👑 ACCESS 👑

To use DPLAST or c_dplast, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. Yes, in that order. Respect the order, bestie. 🙈

and that's the page, babe 🎀 this was the DPLAST(3NCARG) entry from the UNIX manual, dated March 1995 — yes, 1995, she's vintage, she's an elder, and she still slays. periodt. 💅✨
