💖 CSGETI — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG, and it's all about a lil Fortran routine called CSGETI. Girl, she's short, she's sweet, she does exactly one thing, and she does it flawlessly. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

CSGETI — retrieves the value of an internal parameter of type INTEGER. that's it. that's the whole job. she's giving one (1) task and she ate. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL CSGETI (PNAM,IVAL)

like, that's the entire call. two arguments. no notes. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, let's meet the cast:

  • PNAM — a character string that tells her which parameter you wanna get. important detail tho: the name has to show up as the first three characters of the string. the first three. that's the vibe check, that's the rule. 💀
  • IVAL — an INTEGER variable, and yes, the manpage literally says it's "the name of the variable into which the value of the internal parameter specified by PNAM is to be retrieved." so basically: you hand her a variable, she fills it with the value. iconic behavior. ✨

⭐ USAGE ⭐

this routine is your girl when you need to retrieve the current value of Cssgrid parameters. like, peek at what's going on inside. 👀

and if you want the complete list of every parameter available in this utility? that's a whole other page — go read the cssgrid_params man page, bestie. she's got the full menu. 📋

🔥 ACCESS 🔥
