PLGCMAP1_RANGE(3plplot)

💜 PLGCMAP1_RANGE — the 3plplot era ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in the PLplot API manual and the function is literally called plgcmap1_range, and yes it does exactly what it says on the tin, no cap 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

plgcmap1_range — bestie, it gets the cmap1 argument range for continuous color plots. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plgcmap1_range(min_color, max_color)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this one gets the cmap1 argument range for continuous color plots. it's giving "read-only icon", it's giving "i just want to know the range" 🫶

if you're more of a "i want to SET it" main character, you use plscmap1_range(3plplot) to set the cmap1 argument range. two different besties, two different jobs, both iconic. 👑

Redacted form: plgcmap1_range(min_color, max_color)

and ngl, this function is currently not used in any example. like... she's on the roster but she's not in the starting lineup 😭 still valid though, still part of the lore. 💀

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• min_color (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — the returned value of the current minimum cmap1 argument. it's an output, so it hands you the number, you don't hand it anything. slay. ✨
• max_color (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — the returned value of the current maximum cmap1 argument. also output, also just vibing and giving you the ceiling. 💖

lowkey reminder: both of these are PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot) and both are output parameters. keep that exact spelling, iykyk 🧚
