GINQ_NAME_OPEN_SEG(3NCARG)

✨ GINQ_NAME_OPEN_SEG ✨

okay so bestie, this one's from NCAR GRAPHICS and it lives in section 3NCARG of the manual, and it is literally the glow-up of "hey, what segment are we even in right now??" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ginq_name_open_seg — returns the name of the currently open segment 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_name_open_seg(Gint *err_ind, Gint *name_open_seg);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• err_ind — (Output) so like, if the GKS state is SGOP (segment open, we're in our open segment era ✨), then err_ind comes back as "0". Otherwise — and I cannot stress this enough — err_ind is returned as "4". 💀
• name_open_seg — (Output) if the GKS state is SGOP (segment open, main character moment), then name_open_seg is returned as the number of the currently open segment 🎉. Otherwise? name_open_seg is undefined. Not zero, not empty, undefined — so don't you dare go reading it, that's giving chaos 🙈.

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

To use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. That's it, that's the whole vibe check 👑
