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.
