GQCHXP(3NCARG)

✨ GQCHXP ✨ (aka the character expansion factor gossip page)

okay bestie, welcome to GQCHXP from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG 💅 this is the one where we ask the graphics system "hey girl, what's your character expansion factor rn?" and she tells us. no cap.

💖 NAME 💖

GQCHXP (Inquire character expansion factor) — retrieves the current value of the character expansion factor. that's it, that's the whole job. she's a getter, she's an icon, she's literally just here to report back 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GQCHXP (ERRIND, CHXP)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

for my C girlies (gender neutral), it's giving:

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_char_expan(Gint *err_ind, Gdouble *char_expan);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so there's two arguments and they're both outputs, meaning you hand her some variables and she fills them in for you. main character energy fr.

• ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the inquired value cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator gets dropped in ERRIND. otherwise? zero. clean. slay. if you wanna know what all the error indicators mean, you gotta consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", that's the lore iykyk 📖
• CHXP — (Real, Output) — this one holds the current value of the character expansion factor, whether it got there by default or because somebody called GSCHXP. either way, she's carrying it. 💖

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. that's the entry fee bestie, no library, no vibe check.
