💖 MPLNRI — bestie, it's the EZMAP database reader 💖

✨ NAME ✨

MPLNRI — reads information from a specified EZMAP database. That's it, that's the whole job. It's giving "librarian who only knows one shelf but knows it flawlessly" 📚💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL MPLNRI (FLNM)

---

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_mplnri (char *flnm)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

• FLNM — an input expression of type CHARACTER, and it specifies the name of the database to be used. So like, it's the name of the database, bestie, it's right there in the name 🫶

MPLNRI is a little bit of a scavenger hunt, okay? First it goes looking for the files of the specified database in the current working directory. If they're not chillin' there, MPLNRI goes looking for them in the NCAR Graphics database directory instead. Two stops, that's the whole route 🚗✨

And just so you know what you're dealing with: the database that got created back in 1998 and was handed out as part of Version 4.1 of NCAR Graphics is named "Earth..1". That's her name, that's the icon, no cap 🌍👑

---

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

The C-binding argument description is the same as the FORTRAN argument description. Same facts, different font, we love consistency ✨

---

🔥 USAGE 🔥

Calling MPLNRI causes information about the database whose name is specified by FLNM to be read into EZMAPB common blocks. That's the whole vibe check — the data moves in, it settles down, it decorates 🏡💖

After that, when you go and reference functions like MPIOAR, MPISCI, and so on, they're all making use of this data. So yeah, this is the pregame, and everything else is the party 🎉 periodt.

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant example: mpex12.

Go look at it fr fr, examples are how the lore actually clicks 👀

---

⭐ ACCESS ⭐

To use MPLNRI or c_mplnri, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order. Like, the order is a preference, not a threat, but bestie… just do it in that order 💅
