GSET_LINETYPE(3NCARG)

GSET_LINETYPE(3NCARG) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the universe — this one's gset_linetype, and it's genuinely so simple you're gonna slay it in like thirty seconds. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

gset_linetype (Set line type) — sets the line type to solid or various dashed patterns. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_linetype(Gint linetype);

one function, one argument, zero drama. we love a low-maintenance icon. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

linetype (Input) — the type of polyline to be drawn. here's the whole menu, bestie, read it slow:

• < 0 — implementation dependent. 🫠 (not used in NCAR GKS-0A, so don't come for me)
• 1 — solid line. this is the default, the main character, the moment. ✨
• 2 — dashed line. very "i'm making a point" energy.
• 3 — dotted line. subtle. delicate. a little fairy vibe. 🧚
• 4 — dashed dotted line. the combo meal. the full look. 🔥
• ≥ 5 — reserved for registration or future standardization (and yeah, not used in NCAR GKS-0A either). so like, hands off, that's reserved seating. 🙈

👑 ACCESS 👑

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. load them. both. no skipping. 🫶

periodt. that's the whole page. line types acquired, knowledge secured, you ate. 💖

and that's a wrap on the UNIX version from March 1993 — yeah, GSET_LINETYPE(3NCARG) is vintage and still serving looks. bye bestie, go draw something cute. 🎀✨🦋
