GINQ_LINE_COLR_ind(3NCARG)

✨ GINQ_LINE_COLR_IND ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual 💅 this one's a lil baby function, super short, but it's important, so let's get into it

💖 NAME 💖

ginq_line_colr_ind — gets the polyline color index 🎨

like, it inquires. it asks the question. it finds out what color index your polylines are rocking rn. it's giving nosy in the best way 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_line_colr_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *line_colr_ind);

look at that. two pointers. very demure, very mindful ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea on the arguments:

• err_ind (Output) — if the inquired value can't be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped into err_ind. otherwise? zero. that's it, that's the vibe. for the full lore on what each error indicator actually means, go consult the User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics 📖 (yes, that's a real book, no cap)
• line_colr_ind (Output) — returns the polyline color index 💅 as set by default, or by a call to gset_line_colr_ind. so like, whatever you set it to (or whatever it was chillin' at by default), this is where it comes back out ✨

ngl the whole point of this function is just "hey what's my color index" and honestly? iconic. simple. effective. periodt.

🔑 ACCESS 🔑

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. no libraries, no function, no color index, no slay 🫶
