GSTXAL(3NCARG)

✨ GSTXAL — set text alignment ✨

okay bestie, welcome to GSTXAL, a lil routine from the NCAR GRAPHICS cinematic universe (that's the 3NCARG manual, iykyk) whose whole entire job is: it sets the text alignment. that's it. that's the gig. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

GSTXAL (Set text alignment) — sets the text alignment.

no cap, that's literally the name and the description in one. iconic efficiency.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GSTXAL (TXALH, TXALV)

---

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

for my C girlies, yes there's a binding:

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_text_align(const Gtext_align *text_align);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

TXALH

(Integer, Input) — this one decides the horizontal alignment of the text you're about to draw. your options, queen:

• 0 — Normal (this is the default, so if you say nothing you get this)
• 1 — Left
• 2 — Center
• 3 — Right

TXALV

(Integer, Input) — and this one decides the vertical alignment of the text. options:

• 0 — Normal (also the default)
• 1 — Top
• 2 — Cap
• 3 — Half
• 4 — Base
• 5 — Bottom

---

✨ USAGE ✨

so here's the tea 🍵 — text alignment is what positions the text extent rectangle. and the way that rectangle does its thing is it rotates about the point that your horizontal and vertical alignment settings (TXALH, TXALV) pick out. so basically those two little ints are choosing the pivot point. main character decisions fr fr.

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use GKS routines, you gotta load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. that's the door, bestie, walk through it.
