✨ IDSETR(3NCARG) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual, where we're talking about IDSETR 💖 she's a little routine with one job and she does it flawlessly, no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

IDSETR — provides a new real value for a Bivar parameter. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL IDSETR (PNAM,RVAL)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_idsetr (char *pnam, float rval)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

  • PNAM — an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER, and she is literally the name of the parameter you wanna set. here's the tea tho: the character string can be any length you want, but only the first two characters of it get examined. the rest? ignored. ghosted. 💀
  • RVAL — an input expression of type REAL, aka the real value you've selected for the parameter. now here's the important part, so pay attention bestie: if the parameter is of type REAL, it gets handed the value RVAL directly. but if it's of type INTEGER, it gets INT(RVAL) instead. type matching, but make it dramatic. ✨

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

the C-binding argument descriptions are the exact same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. same energy, different language, we love a consistent icon. 🫶

⭐ USAGE ⭐

this routine is your girl for setting the current value of Bivar parameters. and if you want the complete list of parameters available in this utility, go read the bivar_params man page, she's got the full menu. 🍓

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use IDSETR or c_idsetr, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. order matters, bestie, don't fight the order. 💜

👑 MESSAGES 👑

see the bivar man page for a description of all Bivar error messages and/or informational messages. she has everything, all the receipts. 💅

mwah — that's the whole page, you're so welcome. this was the IDSETR(3NCARG) page from the UNIX manual, dated November 1995, and honestly? she still ate. 💅✨🦋
