GINQ_NORM_TRAN(3NCARG)

💖 GINQ_NORM_TRAN 💖 — the NCAR Graphics girlie's guide

okay bestie, welcome to ginq_norm_tran(3NCARG), aka Inquire normalization transformation 🎀 this one lives in the NCAR GRAPHICS manual and it's literally just you asking the system "hey, what window and viewport did we attach to this normalization transformation?" and it tells you. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ginq_norm_tran (Inquire normalization transformation) — retrieves the window and viewport associated with a given normalization transformation. 🦋

real talk though: if you're an NCAR Graphics user, the manual itself is like "bestie pls use the SPPS routines c_set and c_getset to handle normalization transformations instead of the GKS entries gset_win, gset_vp, gsel_norm_tran, and ginq_norm_tran." so like. noted. 👑 i'm just the messenger, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_norm_tran(Gint num, Gint *err_ind, Gtran *norm_tran);

she's short, she's clean, she's giving main character energy. 🌸

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• num — (Input) — the number of the normalization transformation you're asking about. just hand her the digits, she'll know what to do. 🔢
• err_ind — (Output) — if the inquired value can't be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator in err_ind. otherwise it's a happy little zero. 😌 and if you're like "what do these error indicators even mean" — go consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", she explains all of it. 📖
• norm_tran.win — (Glimit, Output) — the world coordinate window limits. 🪟✨
• norm_tran.vp — (Glimit, Output) — the normalized device coordinate viewport limits. 🖼️✨

so yeah, you pass in a number, you get back a window, a viewport, and a vibe check in err_ind. iconic behaviour fr fr. 💜

✨ ACCESS ✨

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's it, that's the entry fee. 🫶

okay that's the whole page, you ate that 💅 this was the GINQ_NORM_TRAN(3NCARG) entry from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, and the original footer says it's from UNIX, dated March 1993. mwah, bye bestie! 💖🎀🦋🌸
