GCLKS(3NCARG)

okay bestie, welcome to GCLKS from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG. this one is short and sweet but it's literally the closer, so don't skip it πŸ’–


✨ NAME ✨

GCLKS β€” closes the GKS package. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GCLKS

like, that's the call. no args, no drama, just CALL GCLKS 🫢


🌈 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gclose_gks( void );

if you're in C, this is your version. include the header, call the function. slay ✨


πŸ’… USAGE πŸ’…

a call to GCLKS insures that the graphics package is properly terminated. no cap.

warning bestie: no graphics calls depending on GKS should be made during the time that GKS is closed. like, GKS is closed β€” do not poke it. 🚫

if output to a CGM has been the exclusive requirement of the graphics job, and the SPPS entry OPNGKS has been used to open GKS and to open and activate a CGM workstation, then CLSGKS can be used to deactivate and close the CGM workstation, and to close GKS, making a direct call to GCLKS unnecessary in that case. so in that specific situation, CLSGKS ate and GCLKS is not needed. iykyk πŸ’…


πŸ”₯ ACCESS πŸ”₯

to use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. that's the one, bestie. go get her πŸ’–
