💖 Bivar_params — the tea on all the Bivar parameters 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Bivar_params from NCAR GRAPHICS — yeah, the 3NCARG one. pull up a chair, we're going through every single parameter together, no skips, no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Bivar_params — this doc gives you the quick rundown on all the Bivar parameters. literally all of them. that's the whole job. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the situation: Bivar is currently out here supporting two parameters. two. that's it. and honestly? they're both kind of iconic.

wanna peek at what the current values are? you go through one of these routines:

  • IDGETI — for getting integer values
  • IDGETR — for getting real values

and if you wanna change the values? you use:

  • IDSETI — for setting integer values
  • IDSETR — for setting real values
ngl bestie, this part is important: parameter values get reset through IDSETI or IDSETR. that's the move. ✨

the parameter descriptions are all lined up below in alphabetical order because we are organized and we are thriving. each description kicks off with a line that gives you the parameter name plus the intrinsic FORTRAN type of that parameter. so you always know what you're working with. 🎀

🦋 'ITY' — Integer 🦋

Interpolation Type. bestie, this is the interpolation type knob.

  • the default value, 0, says: go ahead and do quintic interpolation. fancy. elevated. main character energy. 👑
  • the value 1 says: nope, we're doing linear interpolation. simple, chill, gets the job done.

🧚 'TTY' — Integer 🧚

Triangulation Type. okay so this one decides your triangulation type.

  • the default value, 0, says: use a triangulation due to C. L. Lawson that maximizes the minimum angle occurring in the triangles. it's giving "no skinny awkward triangles allowed." slay. 💅
  • the value 1 says: use the Delaunay triangulation, which ensures triangles whose circumscribed circles have no data points in their interiors. iconic behaviour, fr fr. 🔥
