NAME
       PCGETR - Retrieves the real value of an internal parameter of type REAL or INTEGER.


SYNOPSIS
       CALL PCGETR (PNAM,RVAL)


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

       void c_pcgetr (char *pnam, float *rval)


DESCRIPTION
       PNAM        (an  input expression 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´.

       RVAL        (an  output  variable  of  type REAL) is the name of the variable into which the value of the
                   internal parameter specified by PNAM is to be retrieved.  If  the  internal  parameter  is  a
                   value  "r" of type REAL, the value returned is "r".  If the internal parameter is a value "i"
                   of type INTEGER, the value returned is "REAL(i)".


C-BINDING DESCRIPTION
       The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions.


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.


EXAMPLES
       Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: cpexcc, epltch, vvexcc, fpchiqu.


ACCESS
       To  use PCGETR or c_pcgetr, 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.
