✨ NNSETRD — bestie, it's the double-precision parameter setter ✨

okay so real quick: this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual, section 3NCARG, and the star of the show is a lil routine called NNSETRD. she sets the value of an internal parameter — and that parameter is of type DOUBLE PRECISION. highkey specific, lowkey iconic. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

NNSETRD — sets the value of an internal parameter of type DOUBLE PRECISION.

like. that's the whole job. and she does it gorgeously. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

CALL NNSETRD (PNAM,DVAL)

yes bestie that's it, two args, no drama, we love a minimal interface. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

  • PNAM — a character string that says which parameter you wanna set. it's the name tag. it's the "hi, it's me, the parameter you're looking for." 🏷️
  • DVAL — a DOUBLE PRECISION value, aka the actual value you're assigning to that internal parameter PNAM pointed at. this is the payload, the moment, the whole point. 💫

🌈 USAGE 🌈

so here's the vibe: this routine is your little remote control for setting the current value of Natgrid parameters. 🎮

and if you want the complete list of parameters available in this utility? that lives over in the natgrid_params man page. go read her, she's thorough, she ate. 👑

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use NNSETRD, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. that's the entry fee bestie, no cap. 🫶
