LBSETR(3NCARG)

LBSETR — or, setting real values on Labelbar params 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the universe ✨ this one lives in section 3NCARG and it's genuinely such a useful little thing, no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

LBSETR — gives a real value to an internal parameter of Labelbar. that's it, that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL LBSETR (PNAM, RVAL)

---

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_lbsetr (char *pnam, float rval)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea on the two arguments, listen up 🫶

• PNAM — this one's an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER. it's a string that's three or more characters long, and it has to begin with one of these six character strings: 'CBL', 'CFL', 'CLB', 'WBL', 'WFL', or 'WLB'. like, those are your options, and those are the only options. it's giving very specific, and we respect it for that.
• RVAL — an input expression of type REAL, and it's literally just the desired value of the parameter you're setting. cute, right? BUT — plot twist — if the internal parameter happens to be of type INTEGER, then the value INT(RVAL) gets handed over to it instead. so it gets truncated on the way in. lowkey important, don't forget it 😭

---

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

the C-binding argument descriptions are the exact same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. same energy, different wrapper, slay 💅

---

🎀 USAGE 🎀

this routine lets you set the current value of Labelbar parameters. iconic behavior honestly.

and if you want the complete list of parameters available in this utility, go read the labelbar_params man page — that's where the full menu lives, bestie 🍓

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: cpex05, elblba, and tlblba. go look at them, they're right there, they're waiting for you 👑

---

🧚 ACCESS 🧚

to use LBSETR or c_lbsetr, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — and preferably in that order. don't be chaotic about it, the order matters, i said what i said 💅

💌 MESSAGES 💌

see the labelbar man page for a description of all Labelbar error messages and/or informational messages. if something's yelling at you, that's where the answers are 🫶
