💅 PLSFAM — set family file parameters (yes bestie, we're doing file familying)

okay so this one's from the PLplot API, page PLSFAM(3plplot) — a little Fortran-ish-flavored legend, iykyk ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plsfam(fam, num, bmax)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it do? It sets the variables that deal with output file familying. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

Heads up bestie: it does nothing if familying isn't supported by the driver. Like, it just sits there looking cute for no reason. 💀

Also, important — if you're gonna use this routine, you must call it before initializing PLplot. Not after. Before. Periodt. ⭐

For the full tea, see the PLplot documentation. 🍓

Redacted form: plsfam(fam, num, bmax)

Where you'll see it: this function is used in examples 14 and 31. 👑

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • fam (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the family flag (a Boolean, no cap). If it's nonzero, familying is enabled. 🟢
  • num (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the current family file number. Like, which file in the little family we're on rn. 🔢
  • bmax (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the maximum file size, in bytes, for a family file. Don't let it get too thicc. 🫶
