πŸ’– MAPGTR πŸ’– β€” the NCAR GRAPHICS girlies' guide

ok so bestie, welcome to the MAPGTR page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG. this one is short, sweet, and honestly kind of iconic. let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

MAPGTR</purgle> β€” gets the current value of a specified EZMAP parameter of type REAL.

and psssst, plot twist: MPGETR is an alternate name for the routine. same energy, different spelling, both slay πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL MAPGTR (PNAM,RVAL)

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫢

πŸ¦‹ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_mapgtr (char *pnam, float *rval)

look at her, she's bilingual πŸ’œ


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

  • PNAM β€” an input expression of type CHARACTER. this is the name of the parameter you wanna get, bestie. and here's the tea: only the first two characters of the string are examined. so like, keep it short and cute, okay? πŸ‘‘
  • RVAL β€” an output variable of type REAL. she receives the value of the parameter specified by PNAM. so you give her a name, she gives you the number. transactional queen πŸ’–

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

the C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. no notes, same info, just dressed different. periodt. ✨


πŸ’« USAGE πŸ’«

this routine lets you retrieve the current value of EZMAP parameters. that's her whole job and she does it flawlessly, no cap.

for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, go check out the ezmap_params man page. iykyk πŸ“–


πŸ“ EXAMPLES πŸ“

use the ncargex command to see the following relevant example:

  • mpex07

go look at it, it's giving main character energy fr fr πŸ”₯


πŸ‘‘ ACCESS πŸ‘‘

to use MAPGTR, MAPGETR, or c_mapgtr, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c β€” preferably in that order. yes bestie, the order matters, trust the process 🧚


πŸ’¬ MESSAGES πŸ’¬

see the ezmap man page for a description of all EZMAP error messages and/or informational messages. she's got receipts and she's not afraid to share them πŸ’€

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was MAPGTR from the NCAR Graphics manual, and this particular rendering is the UNIX flavor, dated March 1993 β€” vintage but make it ✨aesthetic✨. mwah, go get those REAL values πŸ’‹πŸ’–πŸŽ€
