πŸ’… c_nngetslopes β€” the NCAR Graphics girlies know

okay so bestie, welcome to c_nngetslopes(3NCARG), a little function from the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the universe that does exactly one iconic thing: it grabs you the slope at a coordinate you pick. that's it. that's the whole vibe. slay. πŸ’–


✨ NAME ✨

c_nngetslopes β€” retrieve the slope at a specified coordinate. lowkey the entire personality. πŸŽ€


🫢 FUNCTION PROTOTYPE 🫢

no cap, here's the exact signature, copy it character for character:

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

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

c_nngetslopes (row, column, slope, ier);

four args, one dream. let's get into it. ✨


πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

  • row β€” a subscript that indexes the first dimensioned variable in the 2D grid array that came back from the most recent call to c_natgrids. like, the row, bestie. it's giving index energy.
  • column β€” a subscript indexing the second dimensioned variable in that same 2D grid array from the most recent c_natgrids call. yes, the column. we love a matched set. πŸ’…
  • slope β€” *slope is the slope at the grid point z[i,j], where z is the output grid from the most recent call to c_natgrids. that's the whole point of this function fr fr. πŸ”₯
  • ier β€” the error value, the vibe check. if *ier is 0, then no errors were detected β€” we ate, no crumbs. if *ier is non-zero, then go refer to the man page for natgrid_errors for the details, because something is not slaying. 😭

🌈 USAGE 🌈

this routine lets you retrieve the current value of Natgrid parameters. periodt.

for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the natgrid_params man page. go read it, iykyk. πŸ¦‹


⭐ ACCESS ⭐

to use c_nngetslopes, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. that's the door, that's the key, that's the entrance. πŸ”‘
