GINQ_TEXT_COLR_IND(3NCARG)

💖 GINQ_TEXT_COLR_IND 💖 — it's a 3NCARG joint from NCAR GRAPHICS, bestie

okay so you're out here in the NCAR Graphics manual and this one is literally just "hey, what color is my text rn?" — that's the whole vibe. it's giving look-it-up energy. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ginq_text_colr_ind — retrieves the current text color index 🎨🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_text_colr_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *text_colr_ind);

that's it. two pointers, both of them outputs, and you're done. iconic honestly. 💅

🌸 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. 🎀 if you need to know what the error indicators actually mean, go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — that's where the lore lives, iykyk.
• text_colr_ind (Output) — this bad boy hands you back the current text color index, either as it was set by default or as it was set by a call to gset_text_colr_ind. so whatever color your text is living in right now? it goes here. ⭐

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both of them. the way that you need both — don't try to skip one bestie, it will not slay. 😭

and that's the whole page, periodt. this little gem comes to you from the UNIX corner of the manual, dated March 1993 (yes, it's been serving since before most of us were born 👑), and it lives under the name GINQ_TEXT_COLR_IND(3NCARG) in the NCAR GRAPHICS manual. go off, color-inquirer. 💖✨🎀
