✨ ginq_char_expan(3NCARG) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual, this one's a lil cutie fr 💖

💅 NAME 💅

ginq_char_expan — Inquire Character expansion factor

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, ginq_char_expan — aka Inquire character expansion factor — literally just retrieves the current value of the character expansion factor. That's it. That's the whole job. She's an inquirer, she inquires, she slays. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_char_expan(Gint *err_ind, Gdouble *char_expan);

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay here's the tea on the arguments, no cap 🍓

• err_ind — (Output) — if the inquired value can't be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator gets dropped into err_ind. Otherwise you get a zero, which is the good ending. 💚 Wanna know what the error indicators actually mean? Consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — it's giving required reading, bestie.
• char_expan — (Output) — this one holds the current value of the character expansion factor, as set by default or by a call to gset_char_expan. So whatever expansion factor is living in there right now? It's getting handed to you. Periodt. 👑

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

To use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. Both of them. Don't skip one, that's not the vibe. 😭
