GQMNTN(3NCARG)

📦 version 6.6.2, in epel 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 GQMNTN 💖

okay bestie, so this is GQMNTN from the NCAR GRAPHICS library (the manual calls it GQMNTN(3NCARG), iykyk) — and it literally exists to tell you the maximum number of supported normalization transformations. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? iconic. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL GQMNTN (ERRIND, MAXTRN)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_max_norm_tran_num(Gint *err_ind, Gint *max_norm_tran_num);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie — this routine hands you back two lil outputs, and here's what each one is giving:

  • ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the inquired value can't be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped in ERRIND. if everything's chill, you get a zero. and if you're sitting there like "okay but what do the error indicators mean"... consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", it has the whole description. 📖✨
  • MAXTRN — (Integer, Output) — this one gives you the maximum number of normalization transformations available in the GKS package. and in NCAR GKS-0A? MAXTRN = 2. yep, two. that's the number. periodt. 💅

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to actually use the GKS routines, you gotta load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. no library, no vibes, no transformations. that's just how it is. 🫶
