GQFASI(3NCARG)

✨ GQFASI ✨ (3NCARG — NCAR GRAPHICS, bestie edition)

okay so GQFASI stands for Inquire fill area style index, and literally all it does is hand you back whatever the fill area style index is set to right now. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? iconic for that. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GQFASI (ERRIND, STYLI)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

if you're living that C life instead, here's your include and your function signature, verbatim, no cap:

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_fill_style_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *fill_style_ind);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay bestie, here's the tea on your two output arguments:

• ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the value you're asking about can't be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped into ERRIND. otherwise it's a big fat zero, slay. if you need the lore on what the error indicators actually mean, go read the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics". 📖
• STYLI — (Integer, Output) — this one returns the fill area style index, either as it was set by default or by a call to GSFASI. so here's the full menu of what you might get back:
  1. Horizontal lines (this is the default, the moment, the standard) ✨
  2. Vertical lines
  3. Lines of positive slope
  4. Lines of negative slope
  5. Horizontal and vertical lines
  6. Lines of positive and negative slope

that's the whole vibe check. six options, all lines, all valid. 🎀

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use GKS routines you gotta load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. no library, no lines, it's giving empty. 😭
