💅 PLSCMAP1N — plscmap1n(3plplot), the PLplot API bestie ✨

Okay so bestie, real talk: this one's from the PLplot API and it's short but it matters. Let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

plscmap1n — sets the number of colors in cmap1. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plscmap1n(ncol1)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it do? It sets the number of colors in cmap1, (re-)allocates cmap1, and sets the default values if this is the first allocation (peep the PLplot documentation for the deets, iykyk).

Redacted form, since apparently we're being all formal: plscmap1n(ncol1)

This function is used in examples 8, 11, 20, and 21. So yeah, she gets around 💅

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • ncol1 (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the number of colors that will be allocated in the cmap1 palette. And here's the cute part: if this number is zero or less, then the value from the previous call to plscmap1n(3plplot) gets used instead, and if there's no previous call, then a default value is used. Very "i'll just do what i did last time" of her fr fr 🫶

Lowkey a glow-up for your palette ngl — just remember that zero-or-less doesn't mean "no colors", it means "same as last time (or the default)". Not me almost forgetting that 💀

Alright bestie, that's the whole page 🍓 — signing off from August, 2026 with PLSCMAP1N(3plplot) energy. Slay, and may your cmap1 always be allocated correctly 💜🧚‍♀️
