GQTXP(3NCARG)

💖 GQTXP — the "Inquire text path" moment (NCAR GRAPHICS, section 3NCARG) 🎀

okay bestie, listen, this is a whole Fortran/C situation and I'm gonna hold your hand through it, no cap ✨

✨ NAME ✨

GQTXP — Inquire text path. She retrieves the current text path. That's it. That's the whole job. Iconic, honestly. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL GQTXP (ERRIND, TXP)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_text_path(Gint *err_ind, Gtext_path *text_path);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea, two arguments, both outputs, both carrying the lore:

• ERRIND — (Integer, Output) — if the value you asked for cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero error indicator comes back in ERRIND. Otherwise you get a zero, slay. If you need the actual meaning of those error indicators, go read the "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics", because that's where the lore lives. 📖
• TXP — (Integer, Output) — returns the current text path, exactly as it was set by default or by a call to GSTXP. Legal values, and I'm listing all four because we don't gatekeep:
  • 0 — draws successive characters in the string such that character n+1 appears to the right of character n. This is text path "right", and it's the default. 🫶
  • 1 — draws character n+1 to the left of character n. This is text path "left".
  • 2 — draws character n+1 above character n. This is text path "up". ⬆️
  • 3 — draws character n+1 below character n. This is text path "down". ⬇️

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

To use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. That's the whole vibe check. ✅

fr fr, that's the entire page. every flag, every value, every default, all four text paths, nothing skipped. 💀✨
