GSET_CLIP_IND(3NCARG)

✨ GSET_CLIP_IND ✨ (a.k.a. the NCAR Graphics 3NCARG girlies' guide to the clipping indicator)

okay so bestie, welcome to gset_clip_ind 💅 — she lives in the NCAR GRAPHICS section 3NCARG and she is literally just here to control whether data are displayed outside the boundaries of the world coordinate window of the current normalization transformation. that's it. that's her whole job. and she ate. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_clip_ind(Gclip_ind clip_ind);

like, two lines and she's done. iconic. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• clip_ind — (Input) — a flag that turns clipping on or off. that's the whole vibe check right there, no cap.
  • GIND_NO_CLIP — clipping is off 🚫✂️. data outside of the window will be plotted. she's out here living her truth, spilling over the edges, main character energy fr fr.
  • GIND_CLIP — clipping is on ✂️👑. data outside of the window will not be plotted. and bestie... this one is the default. so if you don't say anything, the window wins. periodt.

🦋 USAGE 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓: 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. yes, all of them. they just show up. uninvited. 🙈

if the clipping indicator is on, the data will be clipped to fit your window. neat, tidy, contained. she said "know your boundaries" 💅

lowkey important: this only really matters when your viewport is smaller than the full plotting surface. iykyk. 👑

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's the entry fee bestie, no way around it. 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was the UNIX manual, March 1993, filed under GSET_CLIP_IND(3NCARG) — and yes she's an elder but she's still serving ✨🦋🌸💖
