IDGETI(3NCARG)

✨ IDGETI — it's giving "get that integer parameter value" ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR Graphics corner of the manual pages, this one lives in the 3NCARG section and it's literally the vibe-check on your Bivar parameters 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

IDGETI — retrieves the integer value of a Bivar parameter. that's it, that's the whole job, and it eats every time 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL IDGETI (PNAM,IVAL)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_idgeti (char *pnam, int *ival)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• PNAM — bestie this is an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER, and it's the name of the parameter you wanna retrieve. plot twist tho: the character string can be any length you want, but only the first two characters of it will even be examined. so like, don't come with a novel, two letters is the moment. 🙈
• IVAL — this one is an output variable of type INTEGER, a lil integer variable that receives the desired parameter value. here's the tea on how it behaves:
  • if the internal parameter is of type INTEGER and has the value "i", then IVAL gets handed the value "i" — easy, no drama ✨
  • if the internal parameter is of type REAL and has the value "r", then IVAL gets INT(r) — yes she truncates, that's just the arrangement 💀

💜 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 💜

the C-binding argument descriptions are literally the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. same facts, different font. no cap 🫶

🌈 USAGE 🌈

this routine is your girl for retrieving the current value of Bivar parameters. want the full roster of parameters available in this utility? go read the bivar_params man page, she's got the whole list. 📋

⭐ ACCESS ⭐

to use IDGETI or c_idgeti, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — and preferably in that order, okay? order matters, don't play with her. 🔥

💌 MESSAGES 💌

see the bivar man page for a description of all Bivar error messages and/or informational messages. all the lore is over there bestie 🧚
