c_nngetaspects(3NCARG)

💖 c_nngetaspects 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual, this one lives in section 3NCARG and it's called c_nngetaspects. it's giving "little utility, big slay" ✨

✨ NAME ✨

c_nngetaspects — retrieve the aspect at a specified coordinate. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

✨ FUNCTION PROTOTYPE ✨

void c_nngetaspects(int, int, float *, int *);

look at her, four args, no notes 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

c_nngetaspects (row, column, aspect, ier);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• row — a subscript indexing the first dimensioned variable in the 2D grid array that came back from the most recent call to c_natgrids. yes, most recent, we're not digging up old grids, she lives in the now 🦋
• column — a subscript indexing the second dimensioned variable in that same 2D grid array from the most recent c_natgrids call. two subscripts, two dimensions, math is mathing 🔥
• aspect — *aspect is the aspect at the grid point z[i,j], where z is the output grid from the most recent call to c_natgrids. she hands you the number through the pointer, that's the whole point 🫶
• ier — the error value, our emotional support integer. if *ier is 0, then no errors were detected, we're thriving. if *ier is non-zero, then you gotta refer to the man page for natgrid_errors for details, because that's where the lore lives 😭

✨ USAGE ✨

this routine lets you retrieve the current value of Natgrid parameters. for a complete list of the parameters available in this utility, see the natgrid_params man page. go read it, it's the main character of that particular saga 👑

✨ ACCESS ✨

to use c_nngetaspects, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. that's the whole access ritual, no secret handshake required 🌸
