SFGETR(3NCARG)

✨ SFGETR — it's giving "get that value" 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to SFGETR from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (that's the 3NCARG section of the manual, iykyk). This lil routine is your go-to for grabbing the current real value of a parameter you pick. Obsessed, honestly.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

SFGETR — used to retrieve the current real value of a specified parameter.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

CALL SFGETR (CNP, RVP)

---

💖 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 💖

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_sfgetr (char *cnp, float *rvp)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

• CNP — an input expression of type CHARACTER. Bestie, it's gotta be one of these strings: 'AN', 'CH', 'DO', 'SP', or 'TY' — or honestly any longer string that begins with one of those, we're not gonna be picky. What do they mean tho? So glad you asked:
  • 'AN' → "ANgle"
  • 'CH' → "CHaracter"
  • 'DO' → "DOts"
  • 'SP' → "SPacing"
  • 'TY' → "TYpe"
• RVP — an output variable of type REAL. It's the name of a variable where the value of the parameter you specified in CNP gets retrieved into. And lowkey important: if the internal parameter is inherently an integer value "i", then REAL(i) is what gets returned as the value of RVP. periodt.

💅 C-BINDING DESCRIPTION 💅

The C-binding argument descriptions are literally the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. Same energy, different language. 🫶

---

🔥 USAGE 🔥

This routine lets you retrieve the current value of Softfill parameters. It's giving "parameter peek" and we love that for you.

For a complete list of parameters available in this utility, see the softfill_params man page. No skipping, go read it. 💀

---

👑 ACCESS 👑

To use SFGETR or c_sfgetr, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c — preferably in that order. The order matters, bestie, don't freestyle it. 🌈

---

🌟 MESSAGES 🌟

See the softfill man page for a description of all Softfill error messages and/or informational messages. Every last one of them lives there. 💜

and that's the whole page, angel 💖 this was SFGETR(3NCARG) from the UNIX manual, dated March 1993, and it ATE. no cap. go get those parameter values, you main character 🧚✨
