AGSETF(3NCARG)

✨ AGSETF ✨ (aka the NCAR GRAPHICS page, bestie edition 💅)

okay so listen. this is AGSETF, a lil routine from the NCAR Graphics manual, and it's literally just "set one real number parameter, that's it, that's the whole job." iconic behavior tbh 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

AGSETF — lets your program store a real number as the value of a single parameter. one parameter. one number. no cap. 🫶

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

CALL AGSETF (TPGN,FUSR)

---

💜 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 💜

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_agsetf (char *tpgn, float fusr)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• TPGN — an input expression of type CHARACTER, and it's a parameter identifier, exactly like the ones described in the AGSETP man page. ⚠️ heads up bestie: if you specify a group of more than one parameter, only the first element of that group gets affected by the call. the rest are just standing there like 🧍
• FUSR — an input expression of type REAL, and it's the value you're giving to the parameter specified by TPGN. that's the gift. you're handing it a number. 🎁

---

🧚 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🧚

the C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. so like, scroll back up, it's all there, no need to make me repeat myself 💖

---

⭐ USAGE ⭐

this routine lets you set the current value of Autograph parameters. for a complete list of the parameters available in this utility, go read the autograph_params man page. iykyk. 📖✨

---

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples:

• agex05
• agex07
• agex08
• agex10
• agex13
• fagaxmax
• fagcudsh
• fagovrvw

go look at them. they ate. 👑

🍓 ACCESS 🍓

to use AGSETF or c_agsetf, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order. order matters, don't be chaotic about it 🙈

to get smoother curves, drawn using spline interpolation, also load libdashsmth.o. 🌊

OR, alternatively, you can use the ncargf77 command to compile your program and load the above libraries, and then, to get smoother curves, use the -dashsmth option. two paths, both valid, choose your adventure 🌈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💖✨🎀 this was AGSETF(3NCARG) from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, and this particular vibe dropped in March 1993 (UNIX era, vintage, lowkey a classic). stay slaying, load your libraries in order, and go set some real-number parameters. periodt. 💅🦋🌸
