📦 version 6.6.2.dfsg.1, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 GQCHH — ok bestie, let's get your character height 💖

So this is gqchh from the NCAR Graphics manual (section 3NCARG, if you're keeping track 🎀). The whole entire job of this little routine? It retrieves the current character height. That's it. That's the vibe. She's a getter, she's not here to change anything, she's just reporting the facts. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

gqchh — literally just retrieves the current character height. no notes. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

CALL GQCHH (ERRIND, CHH)

Two args, that's the whole group chat. 🫶

🌸 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🌸

For my C girlies (iykyk), you get a whole different doorway in:

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_char_ht(Gint *err_ind, Gdouble *char_ht);

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Okay so here's what each of the arguments is doing, no gatekeeping:

  • ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the inquired value literally cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator comes back in ERRIND. Otherwise you get a zero, slay. ✨ Wanna know what each error indicator actually means? Consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — that's where the lore lives.
  • CHH — (Real, Output) — this one holds the current character height, as set either by default or by GSCHH. So it's giving "whatever the height currently is," and that's the tea. 🍓

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

To use GKS routines, you gotta load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. Load it. Do not forget. This is not optional, bestie. 😭

This one's from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993, and it shipped with NCAR GRAPHICS under GQCHH(3NCARG) 🎀 — go forth and inquire about character heights, my love. 🦋💖
