💖 GCLOSE_WS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual, where we close workstations like it's the end of a shift and we're clocking out with main character energy 💅

✨ NAME ✨

gclose_ws — the "Close workstation" girlies know this one. It closes a workstation. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gclose_ws(Gint ws_id);

short, sweet, iconic, no notes 💜

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

  • ws_id (Input) — a number that IDs the workstation you're about to close. and bestie, listen, this ws_id must be the same one you used in some previous gopen_ws call. like, the matching one. don't be out here closing a workstation you never opened, that's not the vibe. 🙈

💅 USAGE 💅

So here's what actually happens when you close a workstation:

  • it updates the workstation ✨
  • it removes its identifier from the set of open workstations (she's off the list, she said goodbye 👋)
  • the connection to the workstation is released 🔓
  • and the associated connection ID becomes available for re-use — recycling era, we love to see it ♻️

it's giving "clean exit, no loose ends, we love a tidy queen" 🫶

🔑 ACCESS 🔑

To use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both of them. not one. both. fr fr. ⭐
