GINQ_TEXT_ALIGN(3NCARG)

✨ GINQ_TEXT_ALIGN ✨ (3NCARG)

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS manual page for ginq_text_align 💖 it's giving "inquire text alignment" energy, and yes, that's exactly what it does: it retrieves the horizontal and vertical text alignments. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_text_align(Gint *err_ind, Gtext_align *text_align);

like. that's the whole vibe. two pointers, one function, zero drama. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so let's get into the args, because they matter and i need you to actually read them 🙈

• err_ind — (Output) if the inquired values can't be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator comes back in err_ind; otherwise you get a zero. and if you're like "what does the number MEAN tho" — go consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", it has the whole description of the error indicators. i'm not making that up, that's literally where it is. 👑
• text_align.hor — (Output) returns the current horizontal text alignment, and it's one of these four:
  • GHOR_NORM — Normal (default) ✨
  • GHOR_LEFT — Left
  • GHOR_CTR — Center
  • GHOR_RIGHT — Right
• text_align.vert — (Output) returns the current vertical text alignment, and it's one of these six:
  • GVERT_NORM — Normal (default) ✨
  • GVERT_TOP — Top
  • GVERT_CAP — Cap
  • GVERT_HALF — Half
  • GVERT_BASE — Base
  • GVERT_BOTTOM — Bottom

so like, if you ever wondered "where is my text actually anchored rn" — this is the function that tells you. main character behavior fr fr. 🫶

💜 ACCESS 💜

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's it, that's the whole access situation. 🔥
