WMSETI(3NCARG)
β¨ WMSETI π
okay bestie, buckle up, we're in the NCAR GRAPHICS corner of the manual and this one is short but it's so useful. This is the WMSETI page, and it's giving "tiny function, big main character energy". π
β¨ NAME β¨
WMSETI β sets the value of an internal parameter of type INTEGER. that's it. that's the whole vibe. int in, parameter set, slay. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
CALL WMSETI (PNAM,IVAL)
β¨ C-BINDING SYNOPSIS β¨
#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>
void c_wmseti (char *pnam, int ival)
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
PNAMβ an input constant or variable of typeCHARACTER. It names the parameter you wanna set. π«Ά and here's the little catch, bestie: the name has to show up as the first three characters of the string. first three. that's the whole thing. no cap.IVALβ an input expression of typeINTEGER. It's the value that gets assigned to the internal parameterPNAMis pointing at. β¨
C-BINDING DESCRIPTION
the C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions. literally identical. same facts, different font. π
β¨ USAGE β¨
this routine lets you set the current value of Wmap parameters. π¦ and if you want the complete list of parameters this utility has to offer, go read the wmap_params man page. it's the whole menu, this one's just the ordering counter. π
β¨ ACCESS β¨
to use WMSETI or c_wmseti, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c β and preferably in that order. order matters, bestie, don't freestyle it. π₯

periodt. legal said what legal said. π
this has been the WMSETI(3NCARG) page from the UNIX manual, dated January 1995 β yeah she's vintage, she's iconic, she's still setting integers in Wmap and looking flawless doing it. πβ¨ mwah. π
