PLGDIDEV(3plplot)

💅 PLGDIDEV — get parameters that define current device-space window

okay so this is a page straight out of the PLplot API docs, and honestly? it's a little baby function but she's important, so let's get into it bestie 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

plgdidev — get parameters that define current device-space window. that's it, that's the vibe, she fetches the numbers that shape your device-space window 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plgdidev(p_mar, p_aspect, p_jx, p_jy)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically plgdidev goes and grabs the relative margin width, the aspect ratio, and the relative justification — the three lil ingredients that define the current device-space window. iconic retrieval behavior, no cap 💅

heads up bestie: if plsdidev(3plplot) has not been called, then the default values pointed to by p_mar, p_aspect, p_jx, and p_jy will all be 0. so like, zero. all four of them. nothing set, nothing to see 🙈

Redacted form: plgdidev(p_mar, p_aspect, p_jx, p_jy) — same thing, just the shortened glow-up version ✨

she also gets a little cameo: this function is used in example 31. go look, she ate 🔥

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• p_mar (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — the returned value of the relative margin width 💖
• p_aspect (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — the returned value of the aspect ratio 🎀
• p_jx (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — the returned value of the relative justification in x 🌸
• p_jy (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — the returned value of the relative justification in y 🌈

like, all four are outputs, all four are PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), and they all come back filled in for you. slay 🫶
