💅 PLSSTRM — like, the PLplot stream-setter, bestie

okay so real talk, this is a page from the PLplot API docs (that's 3plplot to its friends), and it's genuinely one of the shorter ones — but we're still gonna do it right. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

plsstrm — set current output stream. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plsstrm(strm)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: plsstrm sets the number of the current output stream. that's the stream everyone's gonna be writing to until you say otherwise.

now, the tea ☕ — the stream number defaults to 0 unless you change it with this routine. so if you never call plsstrm, congrats, you live in stream zero, enjoy your stay. 💖

⚠️ okay this part is important, don't scroll past it: the first use of this routine must be followed by a call initializing PLplot (e.g. plstar(3plplot)). like, literally must. that's the rule. no cap. 💀

Redacted form: plsstrm(strm)

This function is examples 1,14,20.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • strm (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the current stream number. that's the number you're picking. that's the whole arg. she's simple, she's iconic. ✨
