ISGETI(3NCARG)

💖 ISGETI — bestie, it's the NCAR Graphics manual 💖

okay so like. hi. you're looking at a page from the NCAR Graphics manual (that's the manual name btw, she's iconic), and today we're talking about a little function called ISGETI. she's a getter. she fetches numbers for you. that's the whole vibe. let's go 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

ISGETI — Gets the current values of internal parameters of type INTEGER.

like, she reads the ints. that's her job. she's so good at it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL ISGETI (CNP,IVP)

---

✨ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_isgeti (char *cnp, int *ivp)

same energy, C-flavored ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• CNP — an input expression of type CHARACTER, bestie. it's the name of an internal parameter. and here's the tea: only the first two characters of the name are actually meaningful 🫢 but you can totally use a longer character string anyway, because it helps document what internal parameter you're retrieving. it's giving "write it out for the readers, iykyk".
• IVP — an output variable of type INTEGER, and it's the name of the variable that the value of the parameter specified by CNP gets retrieved into. and listen: if the internal parameter is inherently a real value "r", then "INT(r)" will be returned as the value of IVP. so real ones get squished into ints. periodt.

---

✨ C-BINDING DESCRIPTION ✨

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. no notes. identical. matching. slay 💅

---

✨ USAGE ✨

This routine lets you retrieve the current value of Isosurface parameters. that's the whole point, bestie, she's a reader not a writer.

For a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the isosurface_params man page. go look, it's a whole buffet 🍓

---

✨ ACCESS ✨

To use ISGETI or c_isgeti, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. the order matters. don't be chaotic about it 🙈

---

✨ MESSAGES ✨

See the isosurface man page for a description of all Isosurface error messages and/or informational messages. if she yells at you, that's where the translation lives 😭

okay that's the whole page, you ate it, you understood it, I'm so proud of you 🎀
