💖 CSGETR — it's giving "tell me the tea about this parameter" 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS manual page for CSGETR, from the 3NCARG section. she's a lil Fortran routine and she is literally the girl who goes and fetches a value for you. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

CSGETR — Retrieves the value of an internal parameter of type REAL.

like. that's it. that's her whole job. and she ate. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL CSGETR (PNAM,RVAL)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ok so there's two things you gotta hand her, and here's the breakdown:

  • PNAM — a character string that specifies the name of the parameter to get. heads up bestie: the name has to appear as the first three characters of the string. so don't be out here writing a whole essay in there, just the first three chars matter. periodt. 👑
  • RVAL — a REAL variable, and it's the name of the variable into which the value of the internal parameter specified by PNAM is to be retrieved. so she's not returning it, she's writing it into the variable you pass. iconic behaviour tbh. ✨

🔥 USAGE 🔥

this routine lets you retrieve the current value of Cssgrid parameters. it's the little "hey what's your setting rn" text you send. 💬

and if you wanna see the complete list of parameters available in this utility, go read the cssgrid_params man page. she has the full roster. 🫶

👑 ACCESS 👑

to use CSGETR, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath.

that's the vibe check. no library, no value. 😭
