GINQ_MARKER_TYPE(3NCARG)

✨ GINQ_MARKER_TYPE ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR Graphics corner of the manual, this one's ginq_marker_type from the 3NCARG crew 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ginq_marker_type — it retrieves the current value for the marker type 🎀 that's literally it, that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_marker_type(Gint *err_ind, Gint *marker_type);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• err_ind (Output) — so like, if the inquired value cannot be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped into err_ind. If everything's chill? You get a zero. ✨ And for the lore on what the error indicators actually mean, go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — that's the source of truth, iykyk.
• marker_type (Output) — this returns the current value for the polymarker type, whether it got set by default or by a call to gset_marker_type. 👑

And here's the whole marker type menu, no cap:

1. . (dot)
2. + (plus)
3. * (asterisk) — This is the default ⭐
4. o (circle)
5. X (cross)

🫶 ACCESS 🫶

To use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. Periodt. 💅
