void gset_char_ht(Gdouble char_ht);
π DESCRIPTION π
CHHβ (Real, Input) β this is the height, in world coordinates, at which a character gets drawn when you use theGTXoutput primitive. so likeβ¦ how big the letters are gonna be, in the units your world is actually living in. and it's gotta beCHH > 0. π«Ά
lowkey important: by default, CHH = 0.01. so if you never call this, that's the size you're getting. no cap. π

to use GKS routines, you gotta load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. that's the vibe check. β¨
