GSET_MARKER_SIZE(3NCARG)

💅 GSET_MARKER_SIZE 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR Graphics corner of the man pages — yes, this is a 3NCARG moment, we're in library-call territory, and today's main character is gset_marker_size. she's small, she's simple, she sets the polymarker size scale factor. that's it. that's the gig. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

gset_marker_size (Set marker size scale factor) — she sets the polymarker size scale factor, aka the relative size of the marker. no cap, that's literally her whole job description. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's how you slide into her DMs:

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_marker_size(Gdouble marker_size);

that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, one argument. iconic behavior fr fr. 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• marker_size (Input) — a scale factor that controls the size of the marker. she has rules though: it must be greater than or equal to 0. no negative energy allowed in this house 🙅‍♀️

and here's the tea on how the scaling works: since marker_size = 1.0 by default, setting marker_size = 2.0 doubles the polymarker size. so like... you're literally just multiplying the marker's whole existence. math is beautiful, periodt. 💅

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to actually use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. load them. both of them. don't skip one, that's giving "it doesn't compile and I don't know why" energy and we are NOT doing that today bestie 😭

⭐ reminder bestie: marker_size has to be >= 0. negative values? not the vibe. don't do it. 🙈

okay that's the whole page, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓 this was GSET_MARKER_SIZE(3NCARG) from NCAR Graphics, UNIX, dating all the way back to March 1993 — yeah she's vintage, she's a classic, and she still slays. bye bestie, go draw some correctly-sized markers 💜🧚‍♀️
