✨ NNGETASPECTS ✨ (from the 3NCARG manuals, NCAR GRAPHICS bestie)

okay so real talk, this is the NCAR GRAPHICS page for NNGETASPECTS, and it does exactly one thing and it does it slayfully: it retrieves the aspect at a specified coordinate. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

NNGETASPECTS — retrieve the aspect at a specified coordinate. lowkey iconic, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

CALL NNGETASPECTS (I,J,ASPECT,IER)

like, that's the whole call. four little guys. go off. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

here's the tea on every single argument, and bestie I am NOT skipping a single one:

  • I — (Integer, Input) — a subscript indexing the first dimensioned variable in the output grid of the most recent call to NATGRIDS. so like. it's pointing at stuff in that grid. main character behavior.
  • J — (Integer, Input) — a subscript indexing the second dimensioned variable in that same output grid from the most recent NATGRIDS call. yes she's also just pointing at stuff. they're a duo. 🫶
  • ASPECT — (Real, Output) — THE MOMENT. this is the slope at the grid point Z(I,J), where Z is the output grid from the most recent call to NATGRIDS. it's giving "the slope, but make it the one you asked for." 🌈
  • IER — (Integer, Output) — the error return value, aka the vibe check. if IER comes back as 0, then no errors were detected, we're so back, everything's perfect. if IER is non-zero, then bestie you need to go read the man page for natgrid_errors for the details, because something is lowkey not okay. 😭

🎀 ACCESS 🎀

to use NNGETASPECTS, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. that's the price of admission, and honestly? worth it. load it. 💜
