💅 PLGYAX(3plplot) — the PLplot API, bestie edition

okay so real quick: this is a page from the PLplot API manual, and today's main character is plgyax. she's a getter. she gets. that's her whole thing. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

plgyax — get y axis parameters, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plgyax(p_digmax, p_digits)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: plgyax is identical to plgxax(3plplot), like literally the same function wearing a different outfit 💅 — the only difference is that the arguments here are flags for the y axis. if you want the full lore, go read the description of plgxax(3plplot), because that's where the detail lives. iykyk.

Redacted form: plgyax(p_digmax, p_digits)

this function is used in example 31. iconic behavior honestly. 🔥

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • p_digmax (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — this bad boy comes back holding the maximum number of digits for the y axis. and here's the part you actually need to remember: if it's nonzero, then the printed label has been switched to a floating-point representation once the number of digits exceeds this value. so like, nonzero = floating point kicks in past that digit count. noted. 📝
  • p_digits (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output) — and this one hands you the actual number of digits that the numeric labels (y axis, obvs) had in the last plot. so it's the reality check to p_digmax's vibe. 🫶

and that's a wrap, babe — this page is from August, 2026 and it's the PLGYAX(3plplot) page, so go forth and get those y axis parameters. slay. 💅🌸
