💖 DSSETRD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to DSSETRD — that's a NCAR GRAPHICS routine, from the 3NCARG corner of the manual, and she's here for one (1) job. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

DSSETRD — sets the value of an internal parameter of type DOUBLE PRECISION. that's it. that's the whole girl. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL DSSETRD (PNAM, RVAL);

literally one line. no notes. periodt. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

  • PNAM — a character string that specifies the name of the parameter to be set. you're like "hey, this one, right here" and it goes okay bet. 💖
  • RVAL — a DOUBLE PRECISION value that is the value to be assigned to the internal parameter specified by pnam. so PNAM picks the slot, RVAL is what you're dropping in there. ✨

💜 USAGE 💜

this routine allows you to set the current value of Dsgrid parameters. so if you've got a Dsgrid parameter and you're like "hmm, not the vibe, let me change that," this is the function you call. 🔥

for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the dsgrid_params man page. she's got the whole roster, go look, i'll wait. 💅

🔑 ACCESS 🔑

to use DSSETRD, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. no ngmath, no DSSETRD, them's the rules. 👑
