c_nnpntinitd(3NCARG)

💖 c_nnpntinitd 💖 — the NCAR Graphics bestie that gets you into single point mode ✨

okay so you found a page from the c_nnpntinitd(3NCARG) manual, and honestly? she's a little baddie. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

c_nnpntinitd — enter single point mode. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 FUNCTION PROTOTYPE 🌸

void c_nnpntinitd(int, double [], double [], double []);

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void c_nnpntinitd (npnts, x, y, z);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, meet your four arguments. they're all important, no skips:

• npnts — the number of input data points. and listen, there's a rule: npnts > 3. she said three is not enough, periodt. 🙈
• x — an array of size npnts holding the X coordinates of your input data points.
• y — an array of size npnts holding the Y coordinates of your input data points.
• z — an array of size npnts holding the functional values of your input data points. like, z[n] is the value of the input function at the coordinate (x[n],y[n]), for 0 <= n < npnts. it's giving coordinate-to-value pipeline, and honestly? iconic. ⭐

💜 USAGE 💜

so when do you call her? you call c_nnpntinitd when you want to interpolate at individual points. she's the initialization routine — she sets up some internal variables and does this initial triangulation. like, she's doing the groundwork so nobody else has to. main character energy, fr fr. 👑

heads up though: she does NOT do the actual interpolation. do not ask her. that's not her job.

to actually do the interpolation, use the function c_nnpntd. ✨

and when you're done with single point mode and you wanna shut it down? use the function c_nnpntendd. say bye properly, she deserves that. 😭🫶

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use c_nnpntinitd, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. that's the whole key, iykyk. 🔑

okay that's the whole page, you ate that. 💖 the manual name is c_nnpntinitd(3NCARG) from the NCAR Graphics set, and this lil cutie was dated March 1997-1998 on UNIX — so she's vintage, she's thriving, and she's still slaying. go interpolate responsibly, bestie 💅✨🌸
