GINQ_CHAR_UP_VEC(3NCARG)

💖 GINQ_CHAR_UP_VEC 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS section of the manual (that's the 3NCARG part, iykyk) and today we're doing ginq_char_up_vec — aka the Inquire character up vector girlie. her whole job? she retrieves the current value of the character up vector. that's it. that's the gig. and she does it flawlessly, no cap. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_char_up_vec(Gint *err_ind, Gvec *char_up_vec);

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea on the arguments, one by one, no skipping, we don't do that here:

• err_ind — (Output) if the inquired values can't be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator gets dropped into err_ind. if everything's chill? you get a zero. 💅 and if you wanna know what any of those error indicators actually mean, go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — that's where the lore lives.
• char_up_vec.delta_x — (Gfloat, Output) gives you the X world coordinate of the up vector. iconic. 🦋
• char_up_vec.delta_y — (Gfloat, Output) gives you the Y world coordinate of the up vector. she's serving coordinates, your honor. ⭐

---

🌸 USAGE 🌸

so like, picture this: the up vector is literally just the vector made by two coordinate points — (0.,0.) and (char_up_vec.delta_x,char_up_vec.delta_y). that's the whole vibe. 📐✨

and if you're sitting there like "bestie what does the character up vector even mean" — valid, go read gset_char_up_vec, she explains it in full detail. 🫶

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. load them. both of them. don't skip one, that's not the move. 💀
