GSET_FILL_COLR_IND(3NCARG)

✨ GSET_FILL_COLR_IND ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about gset_fill_colr_ind from the NCAR Graphics 3NCARG manual — literally the glow-up button for your fill areas 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

gset_fill_colr_ind (Set fill area color index) — it sets the fill area color index. that's it. that's the whole job. and it ate. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_fill_colr_ind(Gint fill_colr_ind);

look at her. one argument. zero drama. main character energy fr fr ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• fill_colr_ind — (Input) a color index. that's the vibe. you hand her a number, she hands you a color. 🎨

---

🦋 USAGE 🦋

so here's the tea: every single filled area you draw with calls to the gfill_area output primitive is gonna be drawn in the color tied to whatever index fill_colr_ind is holding — and it stays that way until you call gset_fill_colr_ind again and assign her a new index. she's loyal like that. 🫶

for all GKS output primitives, color gets assigned using a color index. the indices run from 0 to 255, where:

• 0 is the background color index 🌙
• 1 is the foreground color index ☀️

color values get associated with indices by calling the GKS routine gset_colr_rep. and here's the little plot twist 😭 — if you use a color index that has no user-assigned color value set in a gset_colr_rep call, then a device-dependent color value gets assigned to that index. not you guessing, not me guessing, the device deciding. periodt.

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both. don't skip one, bestie, she will not compile. 💀

and that's the whole page, babes 💜 this was the NCAR GRAPHICS GSET_FILL_COLR_IND(3NCARG) entry from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993 — yes she's an elder but she's still iconic and still slaying. mwah 🎀💖✨
