✨ WMLABT β€” the "put a cute little 90s/80s temp label on the weather map" girlie ✨

okay so bestie, this is page WMLABT from the 3NCARG manual (NCAR GRAPHICS, we love her πŸ’–). She plots weather map regional temperature labels β€” yk, the little 90s, 80s, etc. vibes 🌑️. Sit down, grab a strawberry drink πŸ“, and let's get into it.


🌈 NAME 🌈

WMLABT β€” plots weather map regional temperatures labels (like 90s, 80s, etc.) πŸ”₯


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL WMLABT (X, Y, LABEL, IPOS)

πŸŽ€ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

she's bilingual, periodt πŸ’…

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void c_wmlabt(float x, float y, char *label, int ipos)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay here's the tea on every single argument, no skips:

  • X β€” (Real, Input) β€” an X coordinate, specified in world coordinates, of a point that says where the label in LABEL should go πŸ“
  • Y β€” (Real, Input) β€” a Y coordinate, also in world coordinates, of a point that says where the label in LABEL should go πŸ“
  • LABEL β€” (Character, Input) β€” a character variable holding the label you want. that's it, that's the girl πŸ’–
  • IPOS β€” (Integer, Input) β€” the flag that controls whether an optional arrow gets drawn πŸ‘€
    • if IPOS is 0, then no arrow is drawn and the label is centered at (X,Y) β€” chill, no drama, just vibes ✨
    • if IPOS is between 1 and 12 (inclusive), then an arrow is drawn in one of twelve positions, and (X,Y) specifies the location of the tip of the arrow 🏹

πŸ’… USAGE πŸ’…

set the values for the appropriate internal parameters before calling WMLABT if you want the label to actually look right, bestie. no cap.

the internal parameters that control how the labels look are:

  • RBS
  • RFC
  • RLS
  • ROS
  • THT

and the appearance of the optional arrows is controlled by the internal parameters controlling arrows β€” go read the documentation for WMLABS for that whole situation πŸ“– (iykyk).


πŸ‘‘ ACCESS πŸ‘‘

to use WMLABT or c_wmlabt, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c β€” preferably in that order ⭐ don't switch up the order, she's particular like that.
