GINQ_MARKER_TYPE(3NCARG)

💖 GINQ_MARKER_TYPE 💖 (3NCARG)

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual, specifically the GINQ_MARKER_TYPE page — yes that's the full title, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic actually 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ginq_marker_type (Inquire marker type) — literally just goes and gets you the current value for the marker type. that's it. that's the whole job. and it eats. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_marker_type(Gint *err_ind, Gint *marker_type);

look at that signature. two pointers, zero drama. 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea on the two arguments:

• err_ind (Output) — if the inquired value cannot be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped into err_ind. otherwise it's a clean zero, no cap. if you need the full lore on what each error indicator means, go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" 📖
• marker_type (Output) — hands you back the current value for the polymarker type, whether that's the default vibe or whatever you set with a call to gset_marker_type. ✨

and here's what the numbers mean, bestie, so you know what vibe your markers are giving:

• 1 — . (dot)
• 2 — + (plus)
• 3 — * (asterisk) — This is the default 👑
• 4 — o (circle)
• 5 — X (cross)

periodt. that's the whole menu. 🍓
