GQNT(3NCARG)

💫 GQNT (Inquire normalization transformation) 💫

okay bestie, so this is GQNT from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG, and it's literally the "hey what's going on with this normalization transformation" function. It retrieves the window and viewport associated with a given normalization transformation. 🎀

real talk though: if you're an NCAR Graphics user, the docs are begging you to use the SPPS routines SET and GETSET to handle normalization transformations instead of the GKS entries GSWN, GSVP, GSELNT, and GQNT. that's not me being dramatic, that's just what it says. use the SPPS ones, iykyk 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL GQNT (NTNR, ERRIND, WINDOW, VIEWPT)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_norm_tran(Gint num, Gint *err_ind, Gtran *norm_tran);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

  • NTNR (Integer, Input) — the number of the normalization transformation you're inquiring about. just tell it which one, bestie.
  • ERRIND (Integer, Output) — the error indicator, and here's the vibe check: if the inquired value can't be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator in ERRIND, otherwise you get a zero. if you need the full rundown of what each error indicator actually means, go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics". 📖
  • WINDOW(4) (Real Array, Output) — the world coordinate window limits, and the order matters, no cap: WXMIN, WXMAX, WYMIN, WYMAX. 🪟
  • VIEWPT(4) (Real Array, Output) — the normalized device coordinate viewport limits, in the order VXMIN, VXMAX, VYMIN, VYMAX. 👀

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

To use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg-gks. that's the one, periodt.

okay that's the whole page, you ate it up fr fr 🫶 this was GQNT(3NCARG) from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, and the footer energy is: UNIX, March 1993, page GQNT(3NCARG). vintage but still iconic 💖
