NGGETC(3NCARG)

💖 NGGETC 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to NGGETC, a little icon living in the NCAR GRAPHICS section 3NCARG of the manual 🎀 she's the getter for character-valued internal parameters of Ngmisc, and honestly? she ate.

✨ NAME ✨

NGGETC — the girl whose whole job is retrieving the current value of a specified internal parameter. that's it. that's the gig 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CALL NGGETC (CNP,CVP)

🦋 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_nggetc (char *cnp, char *cvp, int len)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

• CNP — an input expression of type CHARACTER, and she's the name of an internal parameter of Ngmisc. heads up though: only the first two characters of the string get examined 👀 so like, don't bother writing a whole essay in there.
• CVP — an output variable of type CHARACTER, and she's the name of a variable into which the value of the parameter specified by CNP is to be retrieved. she's the vessel. the moment. the destination 🫶

🌈 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 🌈

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

• len — the size of cvp as dimensioned in the calling program. so if cvp was dimensioned bigger, say so, and pass that number 🎀

⭐ USAGE ⭐

this routine lets you retrieve the current value of Ngmisc parameters. that's the whole vibe — you ask, she delivers ✨

for a complete list of parameters available in this utility, go see the ngmisc_params man page. she's got the full menu 💖

👑 ACCESS 👑

to use NGGETC or c_nggetc, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order, bestie. order matters, no cap 🧚
