✨ GQFASI ✨ (Inquire fill area style index) — a whole vibe from the NCAR GRAPHICS fam 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual set, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big personality." sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

GQFASI — Inquire fill area style index. She retrieves the current value of the fill area style index. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL GQFASI (ERRIND, STYLI)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

for the C girlies (me, I'm the C girlies):

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_fill_style_ind(Gint *err_ind, Gint *fill_style_ind);

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so there's two arguments, both of them Output, which means they're the ones doing the reporting back to you. main character energy honestly.

• ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the inquired value cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator gets handed to you in ERRIND. otherwise you get a zero, which is the "we're so back" outcome 😌. for the actual meaning of the error indicators, go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" — she's the source of truth, no cap.
• STYLI — (Integer, Output) — returns the fill area style index, whether it was set by default or by a call to GSFASI. and here's the menu of what those numbers mean, bestie:
  • 1 — Horizontal lines (default) 👑
  • 2 — Vertical lines
  • 3 — Lines of positive slope
  • 4 — Lines of negative slope
  • 5 — Horizontal and vertical lines
  • 6 — Lines of positive and negative slope

six options, six vibes, pick your fighter 🌈
