NAME

       PCSETC - Gives a new character value to a specified internal parameter.

SYNOPSIS

       CALL PCSETC (PNAM,CVAL)

C-BINDING SYNOPSIS

       #include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

       void c_pcsetc (char *pnam, char *cval)

DESCRIPTION

       PNAM        (an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER) specifies the name of the parameter to be
                   set. 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 input constant or variable of type CHARACTER) is the value to be assigned to the internal
                   parameter specified by PNAM.

C-BINDING DESCRIPTION

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

USAGE

       This routine allows you to set 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: coex02, coex03, epltch, fcoord1, fcoord2,
       fpcfonts, fpchiqu, fslfont.

ACCESS

       To use PCSETC or c_pcsetc, 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.
