NAME
       PCGETC - Retrieves the current character value of an internal parameter.


SYNOPSIS
       CALL PCGETC (PNAM,CVAL)


C-BINDING SYNOPSIS
       #include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

       void c_pcgetc (char *pnam, char *cval, int len)


DESCRIPTION
       PNAM        (an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER) specifies the name of the parameter to get.
                   The  name must appear as the first two characters of the string. If the internal parameter is
                   one of the two (´BC´ and ´CC´) that are arrays, the index of the desired  array  element  may
                   appear,  enclosed in parentheses, in columns 3 and following. Other characters may be used to
                   document the use of the parameter being retrieved; for example, instead of just ´MA´, one can
                   use ´MA - MAPPING FLAG´ and, instead of ´CC(10)´, one can use ´CC(10) - SPECIAL COLOR 10´.

       CVAL        (an output variable of type CHARACTER) is the name of the variable into which  the  value  of
                   the internal parameter specified by PNAM is to be retrieved.


C-BINDING DESCRIPTION
       The  C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions with the following
       exception:

       len         The size of cval as dimensioned in the calling program.


USAGE
       This routine allows you to retrieve the current value of Plotchar parameters.  For  a  complete  list  of
       parameters available in this utility, see the plotchar_params man page.


ACCESS
       To  use PCGETC or c_pcgetc, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in
       that order.


MESSAGES
       See the plotchar man page for a description of all Plotchar error messages and/or informational messages.
