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.
