GQCHSP(3NCARG)

✨ GQCHSP ✨ — it's giving "tell me your character spacing, bestie" 💅

okay so this is a page from the NCAR Graphics manual, and honestly? it's a little one. a lil baby function. but it's important and we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

GQCHSP — which literally stands for (Inquire character spacing) — and what it does is it retrieves the current value for character spacing. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a getter, she's nosy, she just wants to know what the spacing is set to rn 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GQCHSP (ERRIND, CHSP)

like, that's the whole call. two arguments, no drama ✨

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

for the C girlies (iykyk):

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_char_space(Gint *err_ind, Gdouble *char_space);

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

• ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — okay so if the inquired value cannot be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped into ERRIND. if everything's chill and it can be returned correctly, you get a zero. and if you wanna know what all those error indicators actually mean? you gotta go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics". no cap, that's where the lore lives 📖✨
• CHSP — (Real, Output) — this one holds the current value for character spacing, as set by default or by a call to GSCHSP. so if somebody out here changed the spacing, CHSP is gonna tell you what they changed it to. she knows. she always knows 👑

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use GKS routines, you need to load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. that's the vibe check you gotta pass first 💅

and that's the whole page, periodt 💖 this was the UNIX version, dated March 1993, from the GQCHSP(3NCARG) manual — iconic behavior honestly, she's been serving since '93 and she hasn't aged a day 🌸🦋✨
