SFSETC(3NCARG)

πŸ’– SFSETC β€” bestie, we're setting a character param πŸ’–

okay so real talk: this is a page from NCAR Graphics, and it lives in section 3NCARG of the manual (that's the "CALL me from FORTRAN, bestie" section, iykyk). The routine is SFSETC, and it's here to set the character value of a specified internal parameter. Slay. Let's get into it. ✨


✨ NAME ✨

SFSETC β€” bestie it's literally the way to set the character value of a specified internal parameter. That's the whole job. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

CALL SFSETC (CNP, CVP)

🌈 C-BINDING SYNOPSIS 🌈

for my C girlies 🫢

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_sfsetc (char *cnp, char *cvp)

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

  • CNP β€” okay so this is an input expression of type CHARACTER, and it's the name of an internal parameter of SOFTFILL. And bestie, rn there is exactly one legal value: 'CH'. (Or honestly any longer string that begins with 'CH' β€” same energy, we don't gatekeep.) It stands for "CHaracter". Periodt. πŸ‘‘
  • CVP β€” also an input expression of type CHARACTER, and this one is the desired new value of the parameter that CNP pointed at. This value is gonna be the vibe until the next call resets it. So like… it's giving temporary. Not forever. πŸ’€

πŸ’œ C-BINDING DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. No new lore, same tea, same facts, we move. πŸ¦‹


🌸 USAGE 🌸

This routine lets you set the current value of Softfill parameters. And if you want the complete list of parameters available in this utility, go read the softfill_params man page β€” she has the full menu. πŸ“


πŸ”₯ EXAMPLES πŸ”₯

Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: sfex01, tsoftf.

go look at them fr fr, they're right there, they ate πŸ’…

⭐ ACCESS ⭐

To use SFSETC or c_sfsetc, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c β€” preferably in that order. (The order matters bestie, don't be chaotic about it. πŸ™ˆ)


πŸ’Œ MESSAGES πŸ’Œ

See the softfill man page for a description of all Softfill error messages and/or informational messages. All the receipts live over there. πŸ‘‘

and that's the whole page, bestie β€” written in March 1993, coming to you from NCAR Graphics in section 3NCARG of the UNIX manual. iconic behavior honestly, we stan a legacy routine. mwah πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€
