GQMKSC 💖 Inquire marker size scale factor

okay bestie, welcome to the 3NCARG section of the manual — this is the one where we ask the graphics library "hey girl, what's the marker size scale factor rn?" and she tells us. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

it literally just retrieves the current value for the polymarker size scale factor. no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL GQMKSC (ERRIND, MSZSF)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_marker_size(Gint *err_ind, Gdouble *marker_size);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, there are two things you hand her and she fills them in. iconic behaviour honestly.

• ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the inquired value cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator gets dropped into ERRIND. otherwise you get a zero. that's the deal. if you're like "okay but what do the error indicators mean", pls consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", she explains it, i'm not gonna improvise. 💀
• MSZSF — (Real, Output) — returns the current value for the marker size scale factor, whether it got set by default or by a call to GSMKSC. either way, she's got receipts. 🧾✨

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use GKS routines, you gotta load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. no library, no markers, no magic. that's just the rules bestie. 🫶
