GSCLIP(3NCARG)

✨ GSCLIP 💅 (Set clipping indicator)

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, we're doing GSCLIP(3NCARG) today and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, huge consequences" 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

GSCLIP (Set clipping indicator) — it controls whether data are displayed outside the boundaries of the world coordinate window of the current normalization transformation. that's it. that's the whole job. but the way it changes everything?? iconic 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

CALL GSCLIP (ICLIP)

---

💜 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 💜

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_clip_ind(Gclip_ind clip_ind);

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

• ICLIP — (Integer, Input) — a flag to turn clipping on or off, like a little light switch for your data's visibility ✨
  • 0 — Clipping is off. Data outside of the window will be plotted. it's out there, living its life, no walls, no rules 🦋
  • 1 — Clipping is on. Data outside of the window will not be plotted. this is the default, so like, that's the vibe you get unless you say otherwise 💅

---

🎀 USAGE 🎀

so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — if the clipping indicator is off, and you make GKS output calls to plot world coordinate data outside your defined world coordinate window (and your viewport is smaller than the full plotting surface), those data will appear with your plot. they just show up. no invite, no warning, just vibes and pixels 😭

if the clipping indicator is on, the data will be clipped to fit your window. clean edges, no strays, periodt 🫶

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

To use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. (yes, that's the library. go get it. it's right there 🌟)

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌸 this manual dropped on UNIX back in March 1993 — yes, 1993, this function is older than us and still slaying 💀✨ mwah, go clip something responsibly 💅💖
