GINQ_MARKER_COLR_IND(3NCARG)

💅 GINQ_MARKER_COLR_IND — the NCAR Graphics girlies know

okay so bestie, welcome to GINQ_MARKER_COLR_IND(3NCARG), from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (that's the manual name, mwah 💖). This is the one where we ask the computer: hey, what's the polymarker color index rn? And the computer tells us. That's it. That's the whole vibe. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ginq_marker_colr_ind — full government name: Inquire polymarker color index. It retrieves the polymarker color index. Iconic behaviour, honestly.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_marker_colr_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *marker_colr_ind);

Look at her. Two pointers, zero drama. She's not returning anything, she's writing into your variables, which is very main character of her.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here are the two things you gotta hand her, and both of them are Output (she fills them in for you, you don't fill them in for her — do NOT get that backwards bestie 😭):

• err_ind (Output) — if the value you asked for can't be returned correctly, she puts a non-zero error indicator in here. Otherwise? You get a nice lil zero. Zero is the good one. Zero is the slay. If you wanna know what all the different error indicators actually mean, go read the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — that's where the lore lives 📖✨
• marker_colr_ind (Output) — this is the actual answer, the moment we've all been waiting for 🫶 she hands back the polymarker color index, exactly as it was set either by default or by a call to gset_marker_colr_ind.

lowkey important: if you never called gset_marker_colr_ind, this still works. You just get the default. She's not gonna leave you on read 💅

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

Wanna use the GKS C-binding routines? Then load up the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. Both. Together. They're a package deal, fr fr 🤝
