GCRSG(3NCARG)

✨ GCRSG ✨ (aka Create segment) — it's giving "make me a GKS segment" 💅

ok so bestie, this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manuals, and it's about one tiny little subroutine that does one tiny little thing: it creates a GKS segment. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GCRSG(SGNA)

like, that's the whole call. one argument. one dream. slay. ✨

💻 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 💻

for my C girlies, you get a header and a whole function:

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gcreate_seg(Gint seg_name);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

  • SGNA — (Integer, Input) — this is the segment identifier, bestie. it's the name-tag your segment wears, and it's what you'll use in all the later segment function calls that apply to this segment. so pick it with intention. 👑

some ground rules, and these are not negotiable:

  • there can be a maximum of 100 segments in a given job step. one hundred. that's the ceiling. 🫶
  • legal values for SGNA are integers between 0 and 99 inclusive. so 0 through 99, nothing else, no funny business.
ngl if you try to go outside 0–99 you are simply not living the legal-value lifestyle. stay in your lane, it's a nice lane. 💀

🔑 ACCESS 🔑

to use GKS routines, you gotta load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. no library, no segments, no nothing. load it up. 📚✨

ok that's the whole page, you ate it, you understood it, main character energy achieved. this was the GCRSG(3NCARG) page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual — UNIX flavour, dated March 1993 (yes she's an icon, yes she's been iconic for decades, periodt). 💖🌸🦋
