GINQ_TEXT_FONT_PREC(3NCARG)

💖 GINQ_TEXT_FONT_PREC 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (section 3NCARG, we love a graphics library moment), and it's literally called ginq_text_font_prec — aka Inquire text font and precision. she's a getter. she tells you what your text font and precision are set to right now. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ginq_text_font_prec (Inquire text font and precision) — retrieves the current setting of the text font and precision values. that's it, that's the whole job. she's nosy in the best way. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_text_font_prec(Gint *err_ind, Gtext_font_prec
*text_font_prec);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea on the arguments, pay attention bestie:

• err_ind — (Output) if the inquired values cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator gets dropped into err_ind, otherwise you get a zero. that's your little status check 🫶. Consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" for a description of the meaning of the error indicators — she does not elaborate, that's a different girl's job.
• text_font_prec.font — (Output) gives the font number as set by default or by a call to gset_text_font_prec. font number one is a simple default ASCII font (the humble icon she is 💅). and listen — values for font between -2 and -20 (inclusive) are Hershey fonts. yes, like the chocolate. iconic. 🍫✨
• text_font_prec.prec — (Output) gives the text precision as set by default or by a call to gset_text_font_prec. possible values include:
  • GPREC_STRING — String precision (good)
  • GPREC_CHAR — Character precision (better)
  • GPREC_STROK — Stroke precision (best)

it's giving a tier list. good, better, best. the glow-up is real. 😭

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's the entry fee bestie, no skipping it. 💀
