DSSETI(3NCARG)

💖 DSSETI — bestie, it's giving "set an INTEGER parameter" 💖

okay so like. this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG (that's the manual name, she's fancy like that), and today's main character is DSSETI. lowercase icon behaviour, honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

DSSETI — Sets the value of an internal parameter of type INTEGER.

periodt. that's the whole job. she sets integer params and she does it well 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL DSSETI (PNAM, CVAL);

that's it. two arguments. no drama. we love a low-maintenance queen 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea on the two things you gotta hand her:

• PNAM — a character string that specifies the name of the parameter to be set. and this is the important bit, bestie: the name must appear as the first three characters of the string. like, she's only reading the first three, she is NOT scrolling. that's it. three characters. that's the vibe check. 🙈
• CVAL — a character string that is the value to be assigned to the internal parameter specified by pnam. yes, it's a character string even though the parameter is an INTEGER. that's just how she operates. iconic, slightly unhinged, we stan. 💀

🌈 USAGE 🌈

This function allows you to set the current value of Dsgrid parameters. 🦋

and if you're sitting there like "okay but what parameters tho" — for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, go read the dsgrid_params man page. she's got the full menu, this page is just the appetiser. 🍓

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

To use DSSETI, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. no cap. if you don't link that library she literally cannot hear you, it's giving "texting someone whose phone is off" 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💖 this was the DSSETI(3NCARG) page, straight out of the UNIX manual, dated September 1997-1998 — yes she's vintage, yes she still ate, no notes. now go set some integer parameters and slay responsibly 🌟💅👑
