GSFAIS(3NCARG)

💖 GSFAIS (Set fill area interior style) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual, pull up a chair 🫶

This one's called GSFAIS and honestly? It's giving glow-up for your polygons. It sets the fill style of polygons drawn with GFA. That's it. That's the whole job. But it's a main character job, because without it your shapes are just… outlines. Sad little wireframes. 😭

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL GSFAIS (INTS)

---

🌈 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🌈

for my C girlies, no cap:

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_fill_int_style(Gfill_int_style fill_int_style);

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

• INTS — (Integer, Input) — this is the vibe-setter fr fr. It tells the program what style of fill to use in all the subsequent calls to the GFA output primitive. The options are, in order:
  • 0 — Hollow fill (this is the default, bestie, it's the one you get if you say nothing)
  • 1 — Solid fill
  • 2 — Pattern fill (not implemented in NCAR GKS — so like, it's on the menu but the kitchen is closed 💀)
  • 3 — Hatch fill

---

💅 USAGE 💅

So for fill style "Hatch", you should use GSFASI to specify the type of hatch pattern you want — horizontal lines, vertical lines, etc. Like, GSFAIS picks the category, GSFASI picks the flavor. Teamwork. Iconic. 👑

⚠️ Note: If you call GFA and generate an output graphic only to find that you have a closed curve with no fill, you probably have allowed the fill choice to default to hollow fill (no fill). Yes. That's the bug. It was 0 the whole time. We've all been there. 🙈

🔑 ACCESS 🔑

To use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. That's the whole key to the kingdom. ✨

and that's the whole page, babe 🌸 — this was GSFAIS(3NCARG) from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993, and yes it ate, periodt 💅🦋
