PLGETCURSOR(3plplot)

💅 PLGETCURSOR — bestie edition

ok so this is a page from the PLplot API manual (yes, the whole PLplot API, we're fancy like that ✨) and it's all about plGetCursor. buckle up 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

plGetCursor — waits for a graphics input event, then translates that into world coordinates. literally that's the whole gig 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

PLINT plGetCursor(gin)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so plGetCursor sits there and waits for a graphics input event, then translates it to world coordinates. slay. 🫶

It returns 0 if no translation to world coordinates is possible. like, it tried, it can't, moving on 💀

To be super clear about the return values: this function returns 1 on success, and 0 if no translation to world coordinates is possible. that's the vibe check. 👑

Redacted form: plGetCursor(gin)

This function is used in examples 1 and 20. iconic cameos, no cap 🔥

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gin (PLGraphicsIn(3plplot) *, output) — pointer to a PLGraphicsIn(3plplot) structure, and that structure is gonna hold the output. ⚠️ heads up bestie: the structure is not allocated by this routine — you gotta have it existing before you call the function. no structure, no cursor data, that's the rule 🙈
