NAME¶
ginq_text_path - retrieves the current text path
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <ncarg/gks.h>
void ginq_text_path(Gint *err_ind, Gtext_path *text_path);
DESCRIPTION¶
  - err_ind
 
  - (Output) - If the inquired value cannot be returned correctly, a non-zero
      error indicator is returned in err_ind, otherwise a zero is returned.
      Consult "User's Guide for NCAR GKS-0A Graphics" for a
      description of the meaning of the error indicators.
 
  - text_path
 
  - (Output) - Returns the current text path as set by default or by a call to
      gset_text_path. Legal values are:
 
  - GPATH_RIGHT
 
  - Draw successive characters in the string such that character n+l appears
      to the right of character n. This is text path "right" and is
      the default.
 
  - GPATH_LEFT
 
  - Draw character n+1 to the left of character n. This is text path
      "left".
 
  - GPATH_UP
 
  - Draw character n+1 above character n. This is text path
    "up".
 
  - GPATH_DOWN
 
  - Draw character n+1 below character n. This is text path
    "down".
