✨ GQPLCI ✨ (aka the NCAR Graphics manual page, bestie edition)

okay so this is a page from the NCAR Graphics manual, and it's all about GQPLCI — which stands for Inquire polyline color index. bestie, it literally just gets the polyline color index for you. that's the whole job. iconic. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

GQPLCI — Inquire polyline color index. gets the polyline color index. yes, the name says it twice because it's THAT confident. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL GQPLCI (ERRIND, COLI)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

for my C girlies (iykyk):

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_line_colr_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *line_colr_ind);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's what the two arguments do, and yes both of them are Output — you're not feeding anything in, you're just catching what it throws back at you. 🙈

  • ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the value you asked for can't be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped in ERRIND. if everything's chill? you get a zero. slay. and if you wanna know what all those error indicators actually mean, go consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — that's the lore, bestie. 📖
  • COLI — (Integer, Output) — this one hands you back the polyline color index, either as it was set by default or as it was set by a call to GSPLCI. so basically whatever the vibe currently is. ✨

🔑 ACCESS 🔑

to use GKS routines, you gotta load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. that's the entry fee, no cap. 🫶
