GSCLIP(3NCARG)

✨ GSCLIP ✨ β€” the "set clipping indicator" era πŸ’…

okay bestie, welcome to GSCLIP from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (section 3NCARG, if you're keeping track πŸŽ€). this is the lil routine that decides whether your data gets to ~exist~ outside the boundaries of the world coordinate window of the current normalization transformation. it's giving bouncer at the club door. πŸšͺ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

GSCLIP (Set clipping indicator) β€” controls whether data are displayed outside the boundaries of the world coordinate window of the current normalization transformation. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

CALL GSCLIP (ICLIP)

πŸŽ€ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_clip_ind(Gclip_ind clip_ind);

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

  • ICLIP (Integer, Input) β€” a flag to turn clipping on or off. literally just a 0 or a 1, she's simple like that 🫢
    • 0 β€” Clipping is off. Data outside of the window will be plotted. no gatekeeping, everyone's invited 😌
    • 1 β€” Clipping is on. Data outside of the window will not be plotted. this is the default, no cap. πŸ”₯

πŸ‘‘ USAGE πŸ‘‘

so here's the tea β˜• β€” if the clipping indicator is off, and you make GKS output calls to plot world coordinate data outside your defined world coordinate window (and your viewport is smaller than the full plotting surface), those data will appear with your plot. they said "we're coming anyway" πŸ’€

if the clipping indicator is on, the data will be clipped to fit your window. boundaries are boundaries, periodt. βœ‚οΈβœ¨


🌈 ACCESS 🌈

to use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks. that's the whole assignment. 🧚

okay that's the whole page, bestie, you ate πŸ“ and like always: this was the UNIX version, March 1993, filed under GSCLIP(3NCARG). mwah πŸ’…πŸ’–
