AGCHCU(3NCARG)

πŸ’– AGCHCU β€” the Autograph curve glow-up routine πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to AGCHCU, a lil' subroutine from the NCAR Graphics manual (section 3NCARG, so it's a library call, iykyk). Think of it as your backstage pass to restyling curves that Autograph drew for you. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

AGCHCU β€” it's literally the way for you to change the color, the intensity, the line style, etc., of curves drawn by Autograph. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

SUBROUTINE AGCHCU (IFLG,KDSH)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

  • IFLG β€” an input expression of type INTEGER. it's zero when a particular object is about to be drawn, and non-zero when it has just been drawn. so it's basically the "before pic / after pic" flag. πŸ“Έ
  • KDSH β€” an input expression of type INTEGER, and it holds the value of AGCURV's last argument. which value? depends on who called AGCURV, babes:
    • when EZY called it β†’ 1
    • when EZXY called it β†’ 1
    • when EZMY called it β†’ "n" or "-n", where "n" is the curve number
    • when EZMXY called it β†’ "n" or "-n", where "n" is the curve number
    • when the user program called it β†’ a user-specified value
not me putting the whole mapping in your hands like a cheat sheet πŸ’€ β€” but fr fr, that's the entire table, nothing skipped.

πŸ’… USAGE πŸ’…

okay so here's the tea: this routine is NOT called by the user program. Autograph itself calls it, right before and right after each curve gets drawn. so it's not you sliding into its DMs β€” it's Autograph showing up on its own schedule. 🫢

The default version? does nothing. absolutely nothing. it's the NPC of subroutines. 🧍

But you β€” yes YOU, main character β€” may supply your own version to change the color, intensity, line style, etc., of selected curves. slay. πŸ‘‘

⚠️ big important note bestie: a user version of AGCHCU should not call any other Autograph routine. do not do it. don't even think about it. 🚫

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

To use AGCHCU, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c β€” preferably in that order. order matters, don't fight it. πŸ’–

and that's the whole page, bestie β€” every flag, every value, every cross-reference, all of it, no notes. this was the UNIX flavor of AGCHCU(3NCARG), dated March 1993 (yes she's vintage, she's an icon, she's timeless 🌸), from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual set. go restyle some curves and stay hydrated. mwah. πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹
