GSET_CHAR_HT(3NCARG)

💖 GSET_CHAR_HT — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is gset_char_ht from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (that's the 3NCARG section, iykyk). it's the "set character height" girlie. her whole job? telling your text how BIG to be. that's it. that's the gig. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

gset_char_ht (Set character height) — sets the character height for text. slay. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_char_ht(Gdouble char_ht);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• char_ht — (Input) — this is the height, in world coordinates, at which a character gets drawn using the GTX output primitive. lowkey important detail: char_ht > 0. must be positive, no zero, no negatives, we do not do that here. and the default? char_ht = 0.01. tiny little baby text by default, fr fr. 🙈

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to actually use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. both. don't skip one, that's giving broken build energy. 😭

like, the whole text-primitive friend group is here. go read ginq_char_ht(3NCARG) if you wanna ask what the height currently is instead of setting it. 🫶

bestie. read the license. it's literally right there. don't be that person. 💀

and that's the whole page, no cap. this one shipped in the UNIX manual, March 1993, straight outta the NCAR Graphics crew — so yeah, she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. go set your char_ht and make that text main character sized. ✨🎀🦋💜
