GTX(3NCARG)

✨ GTX (Text) — the glow-up text primitive ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, and honestly? it's giving main character energy. GTX is literally the basic output primitive for drawing text, periodt. and the way that there's a whole lil squad of attribute-setting routines ready to help you pick the size, font, precision, orientation, color, character spacing, etc. — obsessed. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GTX (X, Y, STRING)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gtext(const Gpoint *text_pos, const char *char_string);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea on the arguments, no cap:

• X — (Real, Input) — the X world coordinate of the text alignment of the first character in STRING. like, where the alignment point of char #1 sits horizontally, fr fr.
• Y — (Real, Input) — the Y world coordinate of the text alignment of the first character in STRING. same vibe, but vertical. 🫶
• STRING — (Character variable, Input) — the characters to be drawn. literally the words you want on screen. 😭

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use the GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. that's the vibe check you gotta pass. 👑
