GSET_CLIP_IND(3NCARG)

💖 GSET_CLIP_IND 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual set — it's gset_clip_ind from 3NCARG, aka section 3 of the NCAR Graphics docs. lowkey a banger of a little function, ngl.

✨ NAME ✨

gset_clip_ind (Set clipping indicator) — the way that this little icon controls whether your data shows up outside the boundaries of the world coordinate window of the current normalization transformation. like, do you want the overflow or not?? that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_clip_ind(Gclip_ind clip_ind);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• clip_ind (Input) — a flag, bestie, a little on/off switch that turns clipping on or off. two options, both iconic:
  • GIND_NO_CLIP — clipping is off. data outside of the window will be plotted. it's giving "no boundaries, main character energy" 🫶
  • GIND_CLIP — clipping is on. data outside of the window will not be plotted. and psst… this one is the default. periodt. 👑

✨ USAGE ✨

so here's the tea 🍓: 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. literally they just show up uninvited. 😭

if the clipping indicator is on, the data will be clipped to fit your window. contained. demure. mindful. 💅

✨ ACCESS ✨

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's it, that's the whole access situation. ✨
