PLSCOL0(3plplot)

💖 PLSCOL0 💖

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the PLplot API docs and it's all about plscol0, one of those tiny little functions that lowkey runs the whole vibe. sit down bestie, we're talking colors 🎨✨

✨ NAME ✨

plscol0 — sets 8-bit RGB values for a given cmap0 color index 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

plscol0(icol0, r, g, b)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea 🫖: plscol0 sets 8-bit RGB values for a given cmap0 index (peep the PLplot documentation for the whole cmap0 lore, iykyk). It overwrites whatever color value was already chilling at that index, which means it does not result in any additional allocation of space for colors. no extra memory hoarding, no drama, it just swaps the color in place. iconic behavior honestly 👑

Redacted form: plscol0(icol0, r, g, b)

This function is used in any example 31. fr fr, go look 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• icol0 (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the color index bestie 💜. It must be less than the maximum number of colors, and that max is set by default, by plscmap0n(3plplot), or even by plscmap0(3plplot). so many ways to set it lol.
• r (PLINT(3plplot), input) — unsigned 8-bit integer (0-255) representing the degree of red in the color 🍓.
• g (PLINT(3plplot), input) — unsigned 8-bit integer (0-255) representing the degree of green in the color 🧚.
• b (PLINT(3plplot), input) — unsigned 8-bit integer (0-255) representing the degree of blue in the color 🦋.
