GSET_MARKER_TYPE(3NCARG)

💖 NAME 💖

gset_marker_type — also known as Set marker type — sets the type of polymarker that's gonna get used in all your subsequent GPM calls. That's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

Yes bestie, this is straight out of the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, and no, we are not skipping a single detail.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_marker_type(Gint marker_type);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so listen up. marker_type is an Input, and it picks which type of marker gets drawn. Your options, gorgeous:

• < 0 — implementation dependent (and not used in NCAR GKS-0A, so don't even worry about it)
• 1 — . (a dot, tiny but mighty)
• 2 — + (plus, iconic)
• 3 — * (asterisk) — and this one is the default 👑 periodt
• 4 — o (circle, cute)
• 5 — X (cross, main character energy)
• ≥ 6 — reserved for registration or future standardization, so hands off, bestie 🚫

🌈 ACCESS 🌈

To use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. That's it, that's the whole checklist. 🫶
