PLPTEX(3plplot) PLplot API PLPTEX(3plplot)

NAME

plptex - Write text inside the viewport

SYNOPSIS

plptex(x, y, dx, dy, just, text)

DESCRIPTION

Writes text at a specified position and inclination within the viewport. Text is clipped at the viewport boundaries. The reference point of a string lies along a line passing through the string at half the height of a capital letter. The position of the reference point along this line is determined by just, the reference point is placed at world coordinates ( x, y) within the viewport. The inclination of the string is specified in terms of differences of world coordinates making it easy to write text parallel to a line in a graph.
Redacted form: plptex(x, y, dx, dy, just, text)
This function is used in example 2-4,10,12-14,20,23,24,26.

ARGUMENTS

x (PLFLT, input)
x coordinate of reference point of string.
y (PLFLT, input)
y coordinate of reference point of string.
dx (PLFLT, input)
Together with dy, this specifies the inclination of the string. The baseline of the string is parallel to a line joining ( x, y) to ( x+dx, y+dy).
dy (PLFLT, input)
Together with dx, this specifies the inclination of the string.
just (PLFLT, input)
Specifies the position of the string relative to its reference point. If just=0., the reference point is at the left and if just=1., it is at the right of the string. Other values of just give intermediate justifications.
text (const char *, input)
The string to be written out.
