✨ NNGETC 💅 (that's the 3NCARG one, bestie, from the NCAR GRAPHICS fam)

okay so. picture this: you're deep in Natgrid land, you've got a parameter, and you just want to know what its current value is. that's it. that's the whole vibe. NNGETC is the girl who goes and fetches it for you — specifically, a parameter of type CHARACTER. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS

CALL NNGETC (PNAM,CVAL)

🦋 DESCRIPTION

  • PNAM — a character string that names the parameter you're trying to retrieve. and listen, this part matters: the name has to show up as the first three characters of the string. first three, no cap. 👑
  • CVAL — a character string that is the name of the variable where the value of the internal parameter specified by PNAM gets retrieved into. so like, you're not handing it a bucket, you're handing it the name of the bucket. iykyk. 🪣✨

🌈 USAGE

this routine is literally your little errand runner for pulling the current value of Natgrid parameters. 🫶

and if you wanna see the full list of parameters living in this utility, go check the natgrid_params man page. she's got the receipts. 📜

💜 ACCESS

to use NNGETC, load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. that's the one. that's the key to the whole thing. 🔑
