PLGXAX(3plplot)

💖 PLGXAX(3plplot) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the PLplot API and specifically to plgxax — the little function that spills the tea on your x axis parameters 🫖✨

✨ NAME ✨

plgxax — Get x axis parameters 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plgxax(p_digmax, p_digits)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: plgxax returns the current values of the p_digmax and p_digits flags for the x axis. that's it, that's the whole job, and it ate 💅

but listen, p_digits gets updated after the plot is drawn, so you literally cannot call this routine whenever you feel like it 😭 you should only call it after the call to plbox(3plplot) (or plbox3(3plplot)) is complete. timing is everything, no cap.

for more info, hit up the PLplot documentation — it's giving main character energy 📚

Redacted form: plgxax(p_digmax, p_digits)

this function is used in example 31 🎀 (iykyk)

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• p_digmax (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — the returned value of the maximum number of digits for the x axis. if it's nonzero, the printed label has been switched to a floating-point representation when the number of digits exceeds this value ✨
• p_digits (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — the returned value of the actual number of digits for the numeric labels (x axis) from the last plot 🍓
