GSET_LINETYPE(3NCARG)

✨ GSET_LINETYPE ✨

okay so this is gset_linetype from the NCAR Graphics manual, section 3NCARG, and bestie… it does exactly one thing and it does it gorgeously: it sets your line type. Solid? Dashed? Dotted? The whole lewk. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

gset_linetype (Set line type) — sets the line type to solid or various dashed patterns. That's it. That's the gig. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_linetype(Gint linetype);

short, sweet, iconic. one argument, no drama. 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• linetype (Input) — the type of polyline to be drawn. the vibe check for your lines, basically. your options are:
  • < 0 — implementation dependent (not used in NCAR GKS-0A)
  • 1 — solid line (this is the default, bestie 🫶)
  • 2 — dashed line
  • 3 — dotted line
  • 4 — dashed dotted line
  • ≥ 5 — reserved for registration or future standardization (not used in NCAR GKS-0A)

heads up: the < 0 one and the ≥ 5 ones are literally just sitting there being unused in NCAR GKS-0A. don't come for them, they're reserved. 🙈

---

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both of them. that's the price of entry, no cap. ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie. 💜 this beauty came out of the UNIX manual, dated March 1993, and it lives at GSET_LINETYPE(3NCARG) — the way that it's been serving solid lines since before we were born 😭🔥 go draw something pretty. 🎀🦋💖
