💖 LBGETR — ok bestie, time to get that real value 💖

NCAR GRAPHICS · the LBGETR of it all ✨

✨ NAME ✨

LBGETR — literally retrieves the real value of an internal parameter of Labelbar. that's the whole job. she's a getter. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL LBGETR (PNAM, RVAL)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_lbgetr (char *pnam, float *rval)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

  • PNAM — an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER, and she has to be a string three or more characters in length, beginning with one of the six character strings 'CBL', 'CFL', 'CLB', 'WBL', 'WFL', or 'WLB'. those are the only opening acts allowed, no cap. 👑
  • RVAL — an output variable of type REAL, and it's the name of a variable that the value of the parameter specified by PNAM gets retrieved into. and here's the cute little plot twist: if the internal parameter is of type INTEGER and has the value "i", then REAL(i) will be returned in RVAL. so she converts for you. generous queen. 🎀

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

the C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. same vibe, different language, iykyk. ✨

🔥 USAGE 🔥

this routine lets you retrieve the current value of Labelbar parameters. it's giving "peek behind the curtain but make it legal". 🫶

for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the labelbar_params man page. go read her. she has the lore. 📖

⭐ ACCESS ⭐

to use LBGETR or c_lbgetr, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. the order matters bestie, don't freestyle it. 🧚

💀 MESSAGES 💀

see the labelbar man page for a description of all Labelbar error messages and/or informational messages. if something's screaming at you, that's where the translation lives. 😭
