PLGCHR(3plplot)

💖 PLGCHR 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the PLplot API docs for plgchr — yes, that's the whole manual name, we're being fancy today ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

plgchr — get the character default height and the current (scaled) height, both at once, because we're efficient like that 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

plgchr(p_def, p_ht)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically: this one grabs the character default height, and also the current (scaled) height. Both. In one call. Iconic behaviour, honestly 🫶

Redacted form: plgchr(p_def, p_ht) — yeah, same thing, she's not hiding anything 😌

Quick vibe check: this function shows up in example 23. That's your iykyk moment 👑

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• p_def (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — this is where the returned value of the default character height lands, measured in mm 📏
• p_ht (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — and this one gets the returned value of the scaled character height, also in mm 📐

both of these are output args, so like... don't expect to put anything in, bestie, they're giving back to you 💖
