GSET_FILL_STYLE_IND(3NCARG)

💖 GSET_FILL_STYLE_IND 💖 — the NCAR Graphics one (3NCARG)

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're reading a manual page together and it's actually kinda iconic. this is GSET_FILL_STYLE_IND from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG, and it's all about making your fill areas look cute with hatch lines. yes we're doing graphics library lore today. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gset_fill_style_ind (Set fill are style index) — sets the fill area style index.

not me pointing out that the official name literally says "fill are style index" 😭 we love a typo that's been living here rent-free since forever. leaving it exactly as-is, no cap. it sets the fill area style index, periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_fill_style_ind(Gint fill_style_ind);

that's it. one include, one function, one argument. minimal, clean, slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

fill_style_ind — this is your Input, bestie. it specifies workstation-dependent options for hatch or pattern fills. like, the workstation gets a say in how it looks, okay? it's giving "your mileage may vary by machine."

🚨 heads up: Pattern fill options are not supported in NCAR Graphics. so don't come for me asking about patterns. they're not here. they never were. rest in peace. 💀

Hatch fill options though? we have SIX of them and they're all lines, all the time:

1. Horizontal lines (default) — the og. the one you get if you don't say anything. main character energy. ⭐
2. Vertical lines — rotate that vibe 90 degrees 🧚
3. Lines of positive slope — going up and to the right, we love a climber 📈
4. Lines of negative slope — down and to the right, still valid, still gorgeous
5. Horizontal and vertical lines — a whole crosshatch moment, highkey a grid
6. Lines of positive and negative slope — diagonal crosshatch, the other crosshatch, equally obsessed 💜

👑 ACCESS 👑

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's the entry fee, bestie. pay it. 🫶

this little love letter to fill styles came to you from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993, and honestly? it aged like fine wine. ✨💖
