GQTXAL(3NCARG)

💅 GQTXAL — the "Inquire text alignment" era ✨

okay bestie, welcome to GQTXAL from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (section 3NCARG, iykyk). This one is short and sweet and it is literally just here to tell you how your text is currently aligned. No cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

GQTXAL — (Inquire text alignment) — it retrieves the horizontal and vertical text alignments. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GQTXAL (ERRIND, TXALH, TXALV)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_text_align(Gint *err_ind, Gtext_align *text_align);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's what you're handing her, one by one:

• ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the inquired values can't be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator comes back in ERRIND. otherwise you get a zero. 🫶 go consult the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" for what the error indicators actually mean, because that's where the lore lives.
• TXALH — (Real, Output) — returns the current horizontal text alignment:
  • 0 — Normal (default)
  • 1 — Left
  • 2 — Center
  • 3 — Right
• TXALV — (Real, Output) — returns the current vertical text alignment:
  • 0 — Normal (default)
  • 1 — Top
  • 2 — Cap
  • 3 — Half
  • 4 — Base
  • 5 — Bottom

like, she's not guessing, she's reporting. main character energy fr fr ⭐
