GINQ_TEXT_PATH(3NCARG) NCAR GRAPHICS GINQ_TEXT_PATH(3NCARG)

ginq_text_path - retrieves the current text path

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void ginq_text_path(Gint *err_ind, Gtext_path *text_path);

(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.
(Output) - Returns the current text path as set by default or by a call to gset_text_path. Legal values are:
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.
Draw character n+1 to the left of character n. This is text path "left".
Draw character n+1 above character n. This is text path "up".
Draw character n+1 below character n. This is text path "down".

To use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries.
