✨ GQLN (Inquire line type) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to GQLN from the NCAR Graphics manual πŸ’– this is the little glow-up page where you go "hey Fortran, what line type am I even using rn?" and it tells you. it retrieves the current setting for linetype. that's it, that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GQLN (ERRIND, LTYPE)

two args, no drama, she's lowkey iconic πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

yes bestie, there's a C version too, she serves cunt in a different language ✨

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_linetype(Gint *err_ind, Gint *linetype);

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's what the two arguments are doing:

  • ERRIND (Integer, Output) β€” the error indicator, the little vibe check πŸ‘‘ if the inquired value can't be returned correctly, you get a non-zero value dropped in here. if everything's chill, you get a zero. and if you actually need to know what the error indicators mean? go consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", she has the full lore fr fr.
  • LTYPE (Integer, Output) β€” the moment you've been waiting for 🌟 this returns the current value for the line type, as set by default or by a call to GSLN. the options are:
    1. Solid
    2. Dashed
    3. Dotted
    4. Dot-dash

like a whole lil aesthetic menu for your lines, no cap πŸ“
