PLMTEX(3plplot) PLplot API PLMTEX(3plplot) NAME
plmtex - Write text relative to viewport boundaries SYNOPSIS
plmtex(side, disp, pos, just, text) DESCRIPTION
Writes text at a specified position relative to the viewport boundaries. Text may be written inside or outside the viewport, but is clipped at the subpage 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, and the position of the reference point rela- tive to the viewport is set by disp and pos. Redacted form: General: plmtex(side, disp, pos, just, text) Perl/PDL: plmtex(disp, pos, just, side, text) This function is used in examples 3,4,6-8,11,12,14,18,23,26. ARGUMENTS
side (const char *, input) Specifies the side of the viewport along which the text is to be written. The string must be one of: b: Bottom of viewport, text written parallel to edge. bv: Bottom of viewport, text written at right angles to edge. l: Left of viewport, text written parallel to edge. lv: Left of viewport, text written at right angles to edge. r: Right of viewport, text written parallel to edge. rv: Right of viewport, text written at right angles to edge. t: Top of viewport, text written parallel to edge. tv: Top of viewport, text written at right angles to edge. disp (PLFLT, input) Position of the reference point of string, measured outwards from the specified viewport edge in units of the current character height. Use negative disp to write within the viewport. pos (PLFLT, input) Position of the reference point of string along the specified edge, expressed as a fraction of the length of the edge. 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. AUTHORS

PLENV(3plplot) PLplot API PLENV(3plplot) NAME
plenv - Set up standard window and draw box SYNOPSIS
plenv(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, just, axis) DESCRIPTION
Sets up plotter environment for simple graphs by calling pladv(3plplot) and setting up viewport and window to sensible default values. plenv(3plplot) leaves enough room around most graphs for axis labels and a title. When these defaults are not suitable, use the individual routines plvpas(3plplot), plvpor(3plplot), or plvasp(3plplot) for setting up the viewport, plwind(3plplot) for defining the window, and plbox(3plplot) for drawing the box. Redacted form: plenv(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, just, axis) This function is used in example 1,3,9,13,14,19-22,29. ARGUMENTS
xmin (PLFLT, input) Value of x at left-hand edge of window (in world coordinates). xmax (PLFLT, input) Value of x at right-hand edge of window (in world coordinates). ymin (PLFLT, input) Value of y at bottom edge of window (in world coordinates). ymax (PLFLT, input) Value of y at top edge of window (in world coordinates). just (PLINT, input) Controls how the axes will be scaled: -1: the scales will not be set, the user must set up the scale before calling plenv(3plplot) using plsvpa(3plplot), plvasp(3plplot) or other. 0: the x and y axes are scaled independently to use as much of the screen as pos- sible. 1: the scales of the x and y axes are made equal. 2: the axis of the x and y axes are made equal, and the plot box will be square. axis (PLINT, input) Controls drawing of the box around the plot: -2: draw no box, no tick marks, no numeric tick labels, no axes. -1: draw box only. 0: draw box, ticks, and numeric tick labels. 1: also draw coordinate axes at x=0 and y=0. 2: also draw a grid at major tick posi- tions in both coordinates. 3: also draw a grid at minor tick positions in both coordinates. 10: same as 0 except logarithmic x tick marks. (The x data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 11: same as 1 except logarithmic x tick marks. (The x data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 12: same as 2 except logarithmic x tick marks. (The x data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 13: same as 3 except logarithmic x tick marks. (The x data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 20: same as 0 except logarithmic y tick marks. (The y data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 21: same as 1 except logarithmic y tick marks. (The y data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 22: same as 2 except logarithmic y tick marks. (The y data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 23: same as 3 except logarithmic y tick marks. (The y data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 30: same as 0 except logarithmic x and y tick marks. (The x and y data have to be con- verted to logarithms separately.) 31: same as 1 except logarithmic x and y tick marks. (The x and y data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 32: same as 2 except logarithmic x and y tick marks. (The x and y data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 33: same as 3 except logarithmic x and y tick marks. (The x and y data have to be converted to logarithms separately.) 40: same as 0 except date / time x labels. 41: same as 1 except date / time x labels. 42: same as 2 except date / time x labels. 43: same as 3 except date / time x labels. 50: same as 0 except date / time y labels. 51: same as 1 except date / time y labels. 52: same as 2 except date / time y labels. 53: same as 3 except date / time y labels. 60: same as 0 except date / time x and y labels. 61: same as 1 except date / time x and y labels. 62: same as 2 except date / time x and y labels. 63: same as 3 except date / time x and y labels. 70: same as 0 except custom x and y labels. 71: same as 1 except custom x and y labels. 72: same as 2 except custom x and y labels. 73: same as 3 except custom x and y labels.
