GINQ_NORM_TRAN(3NCARG)

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay bestie, so ginq_norm_tran is literally the "Inquire normalization transformation" girlie — she's an NCAR Graphics (3NCARG) routine and she's here to spill the tea on your normalization transformations. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, ginq_norm_tran (yes, Inquire normalization transformation) retrieves the window and viewport that are associated with a given normalization transformation. she's giving you the receipts. 🧾✨

ngl though, a heads-up from the source itself: Users of NCAR Graphics are encouraged to use the SPPS routines c_set and c_getset to handle normalization transformations instead of the GKS entries gset_win, gset_vp, gsel_norm_tran, and ginq_norm_tran. like, that's the vibe the docs are pushing. not me relaying it verbatim, i literally am. 🙈

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_norm_tran(Gint num, Gint *err_ind, Gtran *norm_tran);

💖 DESCRIPTION (the details, bestie) 💖

• num — (Input) this one gives the number of the normalization transformation. which one are we inquiring about? that's her. 👑
• err_ind — (Output) if the inquired value cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator is returned in err_ind, otherwise a zero is returned. so zero = we ate, non-zero = we did not. if you wanna know what each error indicator actually means, go consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics". 📖 (fr fr, that's what it says.)
• norm_tran.win — (Glimit, Output) the world coordinate window limits. 🪟
• norm_tran.vp — (Glimit, Output) the normalized device coordinate viewport limits. 🖼️

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

wanna actually use these GKS C-binding routines? load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's the entry fee, bestie, and it's non-negotiable. 💳✨
