GSET_MARKER_TYPE(3NCARG)

💅 GSET_MARKER_TYPE — the NCAR Graphics glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, this page is from the NCAR Graphics manual, and the function is gset_marker_type (aka Set marker type). It sets the type of polymarker that's gonna be used in all the GPM calls that come after it. Basically you're picking the lil shape that shows up wherever you plot a point. Iconic behavior honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_marker_type(Gint marker_type);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

• marker_type (Input) — this is you choosing which marker gets drawn. The options are giving very much build-your-own-emoji-pack, so let's go:
  • < 0 — implementation dependent. (not used in NCAR GKS-0A, so like… don't even worry about it 💀)
  • 1 — . (a dot) 🫧
  • 2 — + (a plus) ➕
  • 3 — * (an asterisk). This is the default, so if you say nothing this is what you get ✨
  • 4 — o (a circle) ⭕
  • 5 — X (a cross) ❌
  • ≥ 6 — reserved for registration or future standardization. aka not for you (yet), hands off bestie 🚫

🔑 ACCESS 🔑

To use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. No libraries, no markers, no vibes. 🫶
