✨ GCLOSE_SEG(3NCARG) — close segment, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG, and it's literally all about one lil function that closes a GKS segment. yes queen, that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

gclose_seg — aka Close segment — closes a GKS segment. that's it. that's the girl. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gclose_seg( void );

no args, no drama, no return value. she takes nothing and she gives nothing back, she just does the thing. iconic behavior honestly. ✨

💖 USAGE 💖

so when you call gclose_seg, it closes the segment that's currently open. and what does "closes" mean here? it means graphics output primitives are no longer going to be stored in that segment anymore. the segment is done, it's graduated, it's moved on. 🎓

⚠️ okay important: gclose_seg can only be called if a segment is actually open. like, you cannot close a segment that doesn't exist. do not try it. the universe will simply not allow it. 🙈

👑 ACCESS 👑

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. load them. both of them. no skipping. that's the price of admission bestie. 🫶
