GSET_MARKER_COLR_IND(3NCARG)

💖 GSET_MARKER_COLR_IND 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual, aka 3NCARG, and today's main character is gset_marker_colr_ind — the "Set polymarker color index" girlie. she sets the polymarker color index. that's it, that's the job, and she ate. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

gset_marker_colr_ind — (Set polymarker color index) — sets the polymarker color index. no cap, that's literally her whole personality. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_marker_colr_ind(Gint marker_colr_ind);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• marker_colr_ind — (Input) — a color index. that's the whole vibe. you hand her a number, she hands the polymarkers a color. 💅

👑 USAGE 👑

so here's the tea, fr fr: every single polymarker drawn with calls to the GPM output primitive will be drawn with the color associated with index marker_colr_ind — and it stays that way until gset_marker_colr_ind gets called again and a fresh new index is assigned. she's committed like that. 🫶

for all GKS output primitives, color is assigned using a color index. the color indices run from 0 to 255, where 0 is the background color index and 1 is the foreground color index. iconic range, honestly.

color values get associated with indices by calls to the GKS routine gset_colr_rep. so if you use a color index that has no user-assigned color value set in a gset_colr_rep call, then a device-dependent color value will be assigned to that index. not me rolling the dice on the device's mood 😭 that's just how it is though.

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. load them. both. don't skip leg day. 💪

periodt. that's the whole page. go forth and color your polymarkers, bestie. 🍓
