GQTXFP(3NCARG)

✨ NAME ✨

GQTXFP — bestie, it's the Inquire text font and precision girlie 💅 she literally just tells you what the current setting of the text font and precision values is. That's it. That's the whole job. 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL GQTXFP (ERRIND, FONT, PREC)

---

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_text_font_prec(Gint *err_ind, Gtext_font_prec
*text_font_prec);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so she takes three arguments and they're all output, which is giving "I'm not here to be told things, I'm here to TELL you things" energy and honestly? respect. 🙈

• ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the inquired values cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator comes back in ERRIND. Otherwise you get a zero, slay. ✨ If you need to know what the error indicators actually mean, go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — she's not gonna explain herself in this page, iykyk.
• FONT — (Integer, Output) — hands you the font number, whatever it was set to by default or by a call to GSTXFP. FONT number one is a simple default ASCII font, very demure, very minimal. And the values for FONT between -2 and -20 (inclusive)? Those are Hershey fonts, bestie. 🍫 (not the chocolate kind, but still iconic)
• PREC — (Integer, Output) — gives you the text precision, as set by default or by a call to GSTXFP. And here's the glow-up scale, from good to best:
  • 0 — String precision (good) 🌱
  • 1 — Character precision (better) 🌿
  • 2 — Stroke precision (best) 🌳💅

like, look at that progression. she really said "we can do better" and then DID. 🔥
