GTEXT(3NCARG)

GTEXT(3NCARG) — NCAR GRAPHICS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR Graphics corner of the manual, this one lives in the 3NCARG section and it's literally the moment you've been waiting for: putting text on the screen ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gtext (Text) — the basic output primitive for drawing text. and like, a whole lil squad of attribute-setting routines is available for picking your size, font, precision, orientation, color, character spacing, etc. it's giving full customization era 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void gtext(const Gpoint *text_pos, const char *char_string);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, gtext takes two things and one of them is secretly two things:

• text_pos.x — (Gfloat, Input) — the x world coordinate of the text alignment of the first character in char_string. yes, the first character. alignment goes hard, iykyk.
• text_pos.y — (Gfloat, Input) — the y world coordinate of the text alignment of the first character in char_string. same deal, other axis, no cap.
• char_string — (Input) — the actual characters to be drawn. the main characters of this story fr fr 👑

🎀 ACCESS 🎀

to use the GKS C-binding routines, you gotta load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. not optional bestie, that's the vibe check 🫶
