VVGETI(3NCARG)

πŸ“¦ version 6.6.2, in epel 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

πŸ’– VVGETI πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a manual page from NCAR GRAPHICS (the 3NCARG corner of the library, iykyk) and it's literally the whole entire guide to VVGETI. she's a little function whose whole job is grabbing integers for you. no cap.


✨ NAME ✨

VVGETI β€” gets the current value of a Vectors parameter of type INTEGER. that's it, that's the gig πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL VVGETI (CNM,IVL)

πŸ¦‹ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_vvgeti(char *cnm, int *ivl)

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

  • CNM (CHARACTER, input) β€” this is the name of the parameter whose integer value you're trying to retrieve. and here's the tea: only the first three characters of CNM are examined. literally just three. those three characters have to be either entirely upper case or entirely lower case β€” mixed case is NOT recognized, so don't try it bestie, she will not play that game. also, highly recommend using the rest of the character string to make your code more readable, like it's free real estate. for example, instead of just PLR, use PLR - Polar Input Mode. so cute, so clear ✨
  • IVL (INTEGER, output) β€” the variable where the value of the parameter you specified with CNM gets returned. she comes back with the goods 🫢

πŸ’« C-BINDING DESCRIPTION πŸ’«

the C-binding argument descriptions are the exact same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. same vibes, different language, periodt.


πŸ”₯ USAGE πŸ”₯

this routine lets you retrieve the current value of Vectors parameters of type INTEGER. for the complete list of parameters available in this utility, go check out the vectors_params man page β€” she has the full roster πŸ‘‘


πŸ‘‘ ACCESS πŸ‘‘

to use VVGETI or c_vvgeti, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c β€” preferably in that order. don't do it in some chaotic order and then act surprised, okay? 😭


πŸŽ€ MESSAGES πŸŽ€

see the vectors man page for a description of all Vectors error messages and/or informational messages. she spills all the lore there πŸ’…

and that's the whole page, bestie πŸ’– this one came straight out of the UNIX manual, dated April 1993, and it's the VVGETI(3NCARG) entry from NCAR Graphics. iconic behavior honestly. go forth and retrieve those integers, you've got this πŸ§šπŸ“
