SLOGAP(3NCARG)

✨ SLOGAP ✨ (aka the NCAR Graphics bestie who makes blank frames)

okay so hi bestie 💖 welcome to the manual page for SLOGAP, part of the NCAR GRAPHICS collection. it's a FORTRAN-callable routine that lives in the 3NCARG section, and it's basically the "make me some blank frames, but make them match FTITLE's whole vibe" girlie. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SLOGAP — generates TIME seconds worth of blank frames in a manner consistent with FTITLE.

like. that's the whole job. blank frames. consistent with FTITLE. slay 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

CALL SLOGAP (TIME,MTST)

---

🌈 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_slogap (float time, int mtst)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here are the two arguments, and honestly there's only two so we're chilling:

• TIME — an input expression of type REAL. it says how many seconds worth of blank frames you want generated. like, that's the amount. that's it. that's the girl 🫶
• MTST — an input expression of type INTEGER. it's a lil switch that tells the routine whether this is a "real" run or a "practice" run.
  • 0 — means "real run".
  • 1 — means "practice run".

during real runs, the blank frames themselves are created. actual frames. real ones. they exist now ✨

during practice runs, a single frame is created with a legend saying how many seconds of blank frames it stands for. so it's like the trailer version of your blank frames, not the movie 😭 iconic behavior tbh.

🧚 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🧚

the C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. no notes. identical twins fr fr 💜

---

👑 USAGE 👑

this routine allows you to output blank frames in a manner consistent with FTITLE. that's the whole point. that's the assignment and it ate 💅

---

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

use the ncargex command to see the following relevant example: slex02.

(go look at it bestie, it's right there 🍓)

---

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use SLOGAP or c_slogap, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, ncarg_c, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order.

yes it says ncarg_c twice. no, i'm not fixing it. i don't make the rules, i just report them 💀 keep the order, okay? it's giving "trust the process".

💌 MESSAGES 💌

see the scrolled_title man page for a description of all Scrolled_title error messages and/or informational messages. if something's acting up, that's your girl, go ask her 🌸

okay that's the whole page bestie, you're officially a SLOGAP expert, no cap 🧵✨

sign-off moment: this page comes from the UNIX manual, dated July 1995, and it's the SLOGAP(3NCARG) entry in the NCAR Graphics set. periodt 💅💖
