GINQ_MAX_NORM_TRAN_NUM(3NCARG)

💖 GINQ_MAX_NORM_TRAN_NUM 💖

okay bestie so this one lives in the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (section 3NCARG, for the record), and it's giving "how many normalization transformations can we even have" energy. Buckle up, it's a short one but it's important. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ginq_max_norm_tran_num (Inquire maximum normalization transformation number) — retrieves the maximum number of supported normalization transformations.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_max_norm_tran_num(Gint *err_ind, Gint *max_norm_tran_num);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so there's literally two output arguments and they're both kinda doing the most, here's the tea:

• err_ind — (Output) — if the inquired value cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator gets handed back in err_ind. Otherwise you get a zero, slay. And bestie, if you're sitting there like "what do these error indicators MEAN", go consult the User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics, it has a whole description of the meaning of the error indicators. not me making you read the docs, but like, do it. 💅
• max_norm_tran_num — (Output) — this one gives you the maximum number of normalization transformations available in the GKS package. And in NCAR GKS-0A? max_norm_tran_num = 2. literally just two. that's the whole vibe. 😭

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both of them. no skipping. 🫶

and that's a wrap! this page is from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993 (yes she's vintage, yes she still ate), filed under GINQ_MAX_NORM_TRAN_NUM(3NCARG). mwah, go forth and inquire ur max norm tran num. ✨🎀🦋
