📦 version 6.6.2, in epel 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ DSSETC — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is DSSETC, a lil subroutine from NCAR GRAPHICS 💖 it lives in the 3NCARG section of the manual, and it's giving "set a character parameter and go" energy. no cap.

💫 NAME 💫

DSSETC — sets the value of an internal parameter of type CHARACTER. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL DSSETC (PNAM, CVAL);

two args, one call, zero drama. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

  • PNAM — a character string that names the parameter you wanna set. heads up bestie: the name has to show up as the first three characters of the string. that's the vibe check right there 👑
  • CVAL — a character string, and it's the value you're handing over to the internal parameter that pnam points at. like passing a note in class but it's a parameter assignment 💌

🌈 USAGE 🌈

this function lets you set the current value of Dsgrid parameters. that's the whole flex.

want the full roster of parameters this utility has? go read the dsgrid_params man page, bestie — she's got the whole list, iykyk 📜

🫶 ACCESS 🫶

to use DSSETC, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. no library, no party. periodt 💅

lowkey reminder: the name you pass as PNAM only counts by its first three characters, so don't come in here with a whole essay of a string and expect extra credit 😭

and that's the whole page!! this one came from the UNIX manual, dated September 1997-1998, and it's the DSSETC(3NCARG) entry 🦋 stay hydrated, read your man pages, and go set some character parameters 💖✨
