MAPGTC(3NCARG)

💖 MAPGTC — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from NCAR GRAPHICS, living in section 3NCARG of the manual. It's all about grabbing the current value of an EZMAP parameter that happens to be a CHARACTER string. ✨

Also, real quick, before we even start: MPGETC is literally just an alternate name for the routine MAPGTC. Same girl, two names, no cap. 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

MAPGTC — gets the current value of a specified EZMAP parameter of type CHARACTER.

and yeah, MPGETC is an alternate name for the routine MAPGTC. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL MAPGTC (PNAM,CVAL)

---

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_mapgtc (char *pnam, char *cval, int len)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

• PNAM — an input expression of type CHARACTER, and it's the name of the parameter you wanna get. Heads up though: only the first two characters of the string get examined. The rest? Ignored, bestie, they don't even get a vibe check. 🙈
• CVAL — an output variable of type CHARACTER, and it receives the value of the parameter that PNAM pointed at. That's the whole point of the function, and it ate. 💖

---

🎀 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🎀

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions, with one exception:

• len — the size of cval as dimensioned in the calling program.

---

🌈 USAGE 🌈

This routine lets you retrieve the current value of EZMAP parameters. For a complete list of parameters available in this utility, go look at the ezmap_params man page. iykyk. 📖

---

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant example: mpex07.

That's it, that's the example. Go run it. 🔥

---

🧚 ACCESS 🧚

To use MAPGTC, MPGETC, or c_mapgtc, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. Don't be chaotic about the order, we're being organized today. 💜

---

💀 MESSAGES 💀

See the ezmap man page for a description of all EZMAP error messages and/or informational messages.

not me sending you to another man page but like... that's where the messages live, I don't make the rules 😭
