okay bestie, so we're in the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (that's the 3NCARG situation, iykyk) and today's main character is GQFACI, aka the Inquire fill area color index girlie. her whole job? she goes and fetches the current fill area color index for you. that's it. that's the gig. and she ate. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

GQFACI (Inquire fill area color index) β€” retrieves the current fill area color index. like she literally just pulls it up for you, no cap. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GQFACI (ERRIND, COLI)

πŸ¦‹ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

for the C girlies, you gotta include this first:

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_fill_colr_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *fill_colr_ind);

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

  • ERRIND β€” (Integer, Output). if the inquired value can't be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped into ERRIND. otherwise? a big fat zero, slay. and bestie, pls go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" for the whole description of what the error indicators actually mean, because that's where the lore lives. πŸ“–
  • COLI β€” (Integer, Output). this one returns the current fill area color index, as set by default or by a call to GSFACI. so whatever fill color index is vibing at the moment, COLI is gonna hand it to you. 🫢

πŸ”₯ ACCESS πŸ”₯

to use GKS routines, you need to load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. that's the entry fee, bestie. load it up and you're in. ✨
