GCREATE_SEG(3NCARG)

✨ GCREATE_SEG ✨ — the NCAR Graphics girlies' guide 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the GCREATE_SEG(3NCARG) page, straight out of the NCAR GRAPHICS manual 💅 this one's short and sweet but it's foundational, so pay attention, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gcreate_seg — it creates a GKS segment. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gcreate_seg(Gint seg_name);

like... look at her. one line of header, one function call. minimalism is the moment fr fr. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• seg_name (Input) — this is the segment identifier, and it's the name you're gonna be throwing at every subsequent segment function that applies to this segment. think of it as the group-chat name for your segment — once you pick it, that's how everybody addresses her. 💬

okay so the tea ☕: there can be a maximum of 100 segments in a given job step. one hundred. that's the ceiling, bestie, and she is NOT flexible about it. 🙈

legal values for seg_name are integers between 0 and 99 inclusive. so 0? valid. 99? valid. 100? absolutely not, don't even try it, the vibes will be off. 😭

reminder bestie: 0 through 99 inclusive. the math girlies know inclusive means both ends count. 💖

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. load both. not one. both. it's giving duo, it's giving dynamic duo, it's giving you can't have one without the other. 🫶
