GINQ_TEXT_ALIGN(3NCARG)

💖 GINQ_TEXT_ALIGN 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual, section 3NCARG, where we talk about ginq_text_align 🎀 — and yes she's an inquire routine, so she's nosy in the best way. this one's whole job is: retrieve the horizontal and vertical text alignments. that's it, that's the girl. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ginq_text_align — retrieves the horizontal and vertical text alignments. fr fr that's the whole personality. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_text_align(Gint *err_ind, Gtext_align *text_align);

look at her. two pointers, zero drama. 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

ginq_text_align (which, translated from manpage-ese, means Inquire text alignment) — retrieves the horizontal and vertical text alignments. she's giving librarian energy: you ask, she tells you exactly where your text is currently aligned. 📚✨

• err_ind — (Output) okay so if the inquired values literally cannot be returned correctly, you get a non-zero error indicator dropped into err_ind. and if everything's fine? a big fat zero. 🫶 if you're like "what do the error indicators even MEAN", go read the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", she explains it all.
• text_align.hor — (Output) returns the current horizontal text alignment. the options are:
  • GHOR_NORM — Normal (the default, the moment, the blueprint) 🌈
  • GHOR_LEFT — Left
  • GHOR_CTR — Center
  • GHOR_RIGHT — Right
• text_align.vert — (Output) returns the current vertical text alignment. and the roster is:
  • GVERT_NORM — Normal (default, again the blueprint bestie) ⭐
  • GVERT_TOP — Top
  • GVERT_CAP — Cap
  • GVERT_HALF — Half
  • GVERT_BASE — Base
  • GVERT_BOTTOM — Bottom

that's six vertical vibes and four horizontal vibes. mix and match, she doesn't judge. 🧚

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. no cap. 🔗
