gopen_gks

opens the GKS package

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gopen_gks(const char *err_file, size_t mem_unit);

(Input) - The place to which error messages are to be written. Typically this should be "stdout".
(Input) - The dimension of an internal buffer. Currently in NCAR GKS-0A, mem_unit is ignored.

To get output to any workstation, gopen_gks, gopen_ws and gactivate_ws must be called in that order. For jobs producing only CGM output, the three calls to gopen_gks, gopen_ws, and gactivate_ws can be replaced with a call to the SPPS function c_opngks().

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

Online: gopen_ws(3NCARG), gactivate_ws(3NCARG), gdeactivate_ws(3NCARG), gclose_ws(3NCARG), gclose_gks(3NCARG), gupd_ws(3NCARG), opngks(3NCARG), clsgks(3NCARG), gks(3NCARG), ncarg_gks_cbind(3NCARG)
