GINQ_MARKER_COLR_IND(3NCARG)

💅 GINQ_MARKER_COLR_IND 💅

okay bestie, this one lives in the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (that's the 3NCARG part, iykyk) and it's about the GKS C-binding crew. it's short, it's sweet, it's literally just asking the computer "hey girl, what color index is my polymarker using right now?" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ginq_marker_colr_ind — retrieves the polymarker color index 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_marker_colr_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *marker_colr_ind);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe check on the two arguments, both of which are outputs (the function talks, you listen 🌸):

• err_ind (Output) — if the inquired value can't be handed back to you correctly, a non-zero error indicator shows up here; otherwise you get a big fat zero. and like, if you need the full lore on what each error indicator actually means, go read the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics". no cap, that's where the answers live. 📖
• marker_colr_ind (Output) — this one returns the polymarker color index, either the one that's set by default or the one you set by calling gset_marker_colr_ind. slay. 👑

✨ ACCESS ✨

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both of them. no skipping, bestie 🫶

💜 and that's the whole page, periodt. go forth and inquire about your marker colors, main character.

okay so this was the UNIX version of the page, dated March 1993 — yeah, GINQ_MARKER_COLR_IND(3NCARG) has been iconic since before most of us were born 😭👑 the more you know ✨💖
