PCSETI(3NCARG)

✨ PCSETI ✨ — it's giving "set my Plotchar param" 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the universe 🦋 this is the page for PCSETI, and it's lowkey iconic.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

PCSETI — sets the value of an internal parameter of type INTEGER or REAL. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly, no cap 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL PCSETI (PNAM,IVAL)

✨ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_pcseti (char *pnam, int ival)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• PNAM — (an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER) this is the name of the parameter you wanna set, bestie. the name must appear as the first two characters of the string. if the internal parameter is one of the two (BC and CC) that are arrays 👀 then the index of the desired array element may appear, enclosed in parentheses, in columns 3 and following. other characters may be used to document the use of the parameter being retrieved — for example, instead of just MA, one can use MA - MAPPING FLAG, and instead of CC(10), one can use CC(10) - SPECIAL COLOR 10. yes she's flexible AND she's keeping receipts ✨
• IVAL — (an input expression of type INTEGER) the value to be assigned to the internal parameter specified by PNAM. if the internal parameter is of type INTEGER, the value given to it is IVAL. if the internal parameter is of type REAL, the value given to it is REAL(IVAL). it's giving ✨adaptable✨ 🫶

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

the C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. same vibes, different language, we love consistency 💜

---

🦋 USAGE 🦋

this routine lets you set the current value of Plotchar parameters. periodt. 💅

for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the plotchar_params man page — go read her, she's thorough.

👑 EXAMPLES 👑

use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: cpex01, cpex09, cpexcc, epltch, srex01, vvexcc. fcell0, fcoord1, fcoord2, fgkgpm, fgpm01, fngwsym, fpcfonts, fpchiqu.

like, go run them?? they're right there?? main character energy 🔥

🧚 ACCESS 🧚

to use PCSETI or c_pcseti, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order. don't be chaotic about the order, bestie, we're not animals 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌸 she's from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993 — an absolute vintage queen who has been setting integer and real parameters since before we were born and she has NEVER missed 👑✨💖
