GPOLYMARKER(3NCARG)

✨ GPOLYMARKER ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS section of the manual, page gpolymarker(3NCARG). this one's short and sweet and it's giving "tiny function, big main character energy" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

gpolymarker — the output primitive that draws selected symmetric symbols, like, on purpose and everything ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gpolymarker(const Gpoint_list *point_list);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the polymarker output primitive draws selected symmetric symbols to mark coordinate positions that you specify. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic of it honestly 👑

• point_list.num_points — (Gint, Input) the number of markers to be drawn. Must be greater than zero. no zero, no negatives, no "just vibes", fr fr 🚫
• point_list.points — (Gpoint *, Input) the X and Y coordinates of the point_list.num_points markers to be drawn, in world coordinates 🌍

🦋 USAGE 🦋

by default, the polymarker type is an asterisk *. cute, classic, never misses ⭐

wanna pick other polymarker types and attributes? go read the man page for gset_marker_type(3NCARG). that's where the customization lives 🎨

⚠️ heads up bestie: those coordinate pairs have to be in world coordinates, not user coordinates. among other things, this means the log scaling and mirror-imaging features you can get via the c_set call, and the SPPS functions for drawing dots and markers, are not applicable here. different lane, different rules 😭

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. load them. both. don't skip one 🙈
