GINQ_LINEWIDTH(3NCARG)

💖 GINQ_LINEWIDTH(3NCARG) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual, where we're talking about ginq_linewidth — aka Inquire linewidth scale factor — aka the lil function that goes and retrieves the current setting of the linewidth scale factor. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a getter. a queen. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_linewidth(Gint *err_ind, Gdouble *linewidth);

look at her. two pointer args, zero drama. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• err_ind — (Output) so like… if the inquired value can't be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped into err_ind. otherwise it's a cute lil zero. if you're sitting there like "what do the error indicators even mean tho", go consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", she explains it. no cap. 📖
• linewidth — (Output) this one hands you back the current value of the linewidth scale factor, exactly as it was set either by default or by a call to gset_linewidth. so basically: whatever you (or the default) told it last, that's what you're getting back. periodt. ✨

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both of them. don't skip leg day. 🫶

and that's the whole page bestie, no crumbs left. this lil icon is from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993, and she lives at GINQ_LINEWIDTH(3NCARG) — mwah, go forth and inquire your linewidths responsibly 💖🌸💅
