SLGETI(3NCARG)

💖 SLGETI 💖 — the NCAR Graphics page, bestie edition

okay so. welcome to the NCAR Graphics corner of the man pages, this one lives in section 3NCARG and it's all about Scrolled_title. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

---

✨ NAME ✨

SLGETI — gets the current integer value of an internal parameter of Scrolled_title of type INTEGER or REAL. 💅

and like, if you want the complete list of all the Scrolled_title internal parameters? that's a whole other page, bestie, go read the scrolled_title_params man page. it's giving encyclopedia. 📚

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL SLGETI (PNAM,IVAL)

🌈 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_slgeti (char *pnam, int *ival)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• PNAM — an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER, and it specifies the name of the parameter whose value is to be retrieved. and listen — only the first three characters of the string are examined. three. that's it. the rest of your string is just vibing, unread. 🙈
• IVAL — an output variable of type INTEGER, and it holds the current value of the internal parameter. here's the tea though, no cap:
  • if the internal parameter is of type INTEGER and has the value "i", then IVAL = i. ✨
  • if the internal parameter is of type REAL and has the value "r", then IVAL = INT(r). so it's getting truncated, bestie, that's just the way it is. 💀

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

the C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. literally identical. same vibes, different syntax. 🫶

---

✨ USAGE ✨

this routine lets you retrieve the current value of Scrolled_title parameters. that's the whole job, and it does it beautifully. 👑

for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the scrolled_title_params man page. yes, again. i'm telling you because the original told you. we're thorough here. 💜

---

✨ ACCESS ✨

to use SLGETI or c_slgeti, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, ncarg_c, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. 🎀

not me pointing out that ncarg_c shows up twice in that list. i'm not fixing it. that's what it says. we do not editorialize, we report. 🙈

---

✨ MESSAGES ✨

see the scrolled_title man page for a description of all Scrolled_title error messages and/or informational messages. if something goes weird, that's where the answers live. 🔍

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

like, the friend group is all here. slgetr is the REAL one (literally), slseti and slsetr are the setters, slrset resets, slogap does its thing, ncarg_cbind is the C-binding plug. iconic lineup, honestly. 👑

so that's the page. this came out of the UNIX manual, July 1995, filed under SLGETI(3NCARG) — and yes the copyright ran 1987-2009, they really said "we've been at this a while and we're still slaying." 💖✨ periodt. 🦋
