GASETC(3NCARG)

💖 GASETC — it's giving "set a CHARACTER parameter" 💖

Welcome to the <strong>GASETC(3NCARG)</strong> page, bestie — part of the NCAR GRAPHICS manual. This is the routine you call when you want to hand a whole new value to one of those internal parameters that happens to be a CHARACTER type. Yes, character. Letters. Words. The vibe-y kind of parameter. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

GASETC — Gives a new value to a specified internal parameter of type CHARACTER. That's it. That's the whole job. And she does it <em>flawlessly</em>. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL GASETC (PNAM,CVAL)

---

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_gasetc (char *pnam, char *cval)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here's the tea, two arguments, both iconic:

• PNAM — an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER. She's a string that's <strong>three or more characters in length</strong>, and it's the <em>first three characters</em> of her that make up the name of the internal parameter you're setting. So like, the rest of the string can just vibe there, she only reads the first three. 👑
• CVAL — an input expression of type CHARACTER. This is the brand-new value that the internal parameter named by PNAM is gonna get. The glow-up. The new fit. 🫶

💜 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 💜

No new lore here, bestie. The C-binding argument descriptions are literally the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. Same energy, different syntax. 🔥

🌈 USAGE 🌈

This routine lets you set the <strong>current value</strong> of Gridall parameters. That's the whole point of her existence, no cap.

For the complete list of parameters available in this utility, go look at the <strong>gridall_params</strong> man page. She's got the full menu. 📜

👑 ACCESS 👑

To use GASETC or c_gasetc, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries <strong>ncarg</strong>, <strong>ncarg_gks</strong>, and <strong>ncarg_c</strong> — <em>preferably in that order</em>. Order matters, don't play with her. 🎯

💀 MESSAGES 💀

Wanna know what went wrong (or what's going right)? Check the <strong>gridall</strong> man page — it's got the description of all the Gridall error messages and/or informational messages. Every last one. 😌

And that's a wrap on this one, bestie!! This page came straight outta the <strong>UNIX</strong> manual, dated <strong>March 1993</strong>, filed under <strong>GASETC(3NCARG)</strong> — vintage but still absolutely serving. Go set those CHARACTER parameters, you main character. 💖✨🦋
