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".
