MAPGTC(3NCARG)

💖 MAPGTC 💖

okay bestie, welcome to NCAR GRAPHICS and specifically to MAPGTC — she's a lil routine with a whole twin sister (MPGETC is an alternate name for the routine MAPGTC, no cap, same girl different name tag) 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

MAPGTC — Gets the current value of a specified EZMAP parameter of type CHARACTER.

and like, just so we're clear: MPGETC is an alternate name for the routine MAPGTC. two names, one icon 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL MAPGTC (PNAM,CVAL)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_mapgtc (char *pnam, char *cval, int len)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

• PNAM — (an input expression of type CHARACTER) this is the name of the parameter you wanna get, bestie. Only the first two characters of the string are examined. that's it, that's the whole vibe check, two chars and she's done.
• CVAL — (an output variable of type CHARACTER) she receives the value of the parameter specified by PNAM. it's giving "here's your answer, you're welcome" 💖

🎀 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🎀

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions with the following exception:

• len — The size of cval as dimensioned in the calling program.

---

🔥 USAGE 🔥

This routine allows you to retrieve the current value of EZMAP parameters. For a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the ezmap_params man page. go read it, i'm literally begging you, it's the lore 📖✨

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant example: mpex07.

not me telling you to go run an example instead of explaining it myself — but fr fr, mpex07 is right there and she ate 👑

---

⭐ ACCESS ⭐

To use MAPGTC, MPGETC, or c_mapgtc load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order. order matters, bestie, don't be chaotic 🙈

💀 MESSAGES 💀

See the ezmap man page for a description of all EZMAP error messages and/or informational messages. if something goes weird, that's where the receipts live 🧾
