GAGETR(3NCARG)

💖 GAGETR — bestie, come get your Gridall parameter 💖

okay so this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (the 3NCARG girlies know 💅), and GAGETR is literally the routine that goes and gets you the real value of an internal parameter of Gridall. she's a getter. she retrieves. she serves. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

GAGETR — Retrieves the real value of an internal parameter of Gridall.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GAGETR (PNAM,RVAL)

---

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_gagetr (char *pnam, float *rval)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

• PNAM — (an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER) this is a string that's three or more characters long, and the first three characters of it are the name of the internal parameter whose value you're trying to retrieve. like, just the first three, bestie, that's the whole vibe. 👑
• RVAL — (an output variable of type REAL) this is the name of the variable where the value of the internal parameter specified by PNAM gets dropped off. and listen — if the internal parameter is actually of type INTEGER and it has the value "i", then REAL(i) is what comes back in RVAL. no cap, it converts for you. 💅

🎀 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🎀

the C-binding argument descriptions are literally the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. same energy, different syntax. periodt. ✨

---

🌈 USAGE 🌈

this routine is how you retrieve the current value of Gridall parameters. it's giving personal shopper for parameter values.

for the complete list of parameters available in this utility, go read the gridall_params man page, okay? she has the full menu. 📋

---

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use GAGETR or c_gagetr, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — and preferably in that order, because order matters, iykyk. 🫶

👑 MESSAGES 👑

see the gridall man page for a description of all Gridall error messages and/or informational messages. she's got the receipts. 🧾

bestie if you take one thing from this page: GAGETR gets, GASETR sets. that's the whole dynamic. 💖

okay and for the sign-off, this page is from the NCAR Graphics manual (that's the source, the version, the whole package 🎀) and it was dated March 1993, which is giving vintage but honestly she still ate. the original footer lives on the UNIX side of the manual and goes by GAGETR(3NCARG). love her, stan her, go retrieve some parameters. 💅✨🌈
