GINQ_FILL_STYLE_IND(3NCARG)

💅 GINQ_FILL_STYLE_IND(3NCARG) — it's giving "NCAR GRAPHICS", bestie

okay so this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual set, and today's main character is ginq_fill_style_ind — yes the whole thing, lowercase and underscored, she's iconic like that.

✨ NAME ✨

ginq_fill_style_ind — bestie, this little function goes and asks what the current fill area style index is. Like, it retrieves it. It does not set it. It just wants the tea. 🫖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_fill_style_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *fill_style_ind);

literally that's it. two pointers, no drama.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the rundown on the two args, they're both output args btw, so you're handing her empty boxes and she fills them in:

• err_ind — (Output) — if she can't return the value correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped in here, otherwise it's a zero, periodt. and if you're like "what do the error indicators even mean" — go read the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", she explains it there, iykyk.
• fill_style_ind — (Output) — this one hands you back the fill area style index, either the one that's there by default or the one you set by calling gset_fill_style_ind. no cap. and here's the whole menu of possible values:
  1. 1 — Horizontal lines (default) 👑
  2. 2 — Vertical lines
  3. 3 — Lines of positive slope
  4. 4 — Lines of negative slope
  5. 5 — Horizontal and vertical lines
  6. 6 — Lines of positive and negative slope

so like... hatch patterns. it's hatch patterns. aesthetic hatching. obsessed. 🦋

🔑 ACCESS 🔑

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's the vibe check. don't skip it. 🙈
