NAME

       plw3d - Set up window for 3-d plotting

SYNOPSIS

       plw3d(basex, basey, height, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax, alt, az)

DESCRIPTION

       Sets  up a window for a three-dimensional surface plot within the currently defined two-dimensional window.  The enclosing box for the sur-
       face plot defined by xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin and zmax in user-coordinate space is mapped into a box of world coordinate size basex	by
       basey  by  height so that xmin maps to -basex/2, xmax maps to basex/2, ymin maps to -basey/2, ymax maps to basey/2, zmin maps to 0 and zmax
       maps to height.	The resulting world-coordinate box is then viewed by an observer at altitude alt and azimuth az.   This  routine  must	be
       called  before plbox3(3plplot) or plot3d(3plplot).  For a more complete description of three-dimensional plotting see the PLplot documenta-
       tion.

       Redacted form: plw3d(basex, basey, height, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax, alt, az)

       This function is examples 8,11,18,21.

ARGUMENTS

       basex (PLFLT, input)
	      The x coordinate size of the world-coordinate box.

       basey (PLFLT, input)
	      The y coordinate size of the world-coordinate box.

       height (PLFLT, input)
	      The z coordinate size of the world-coordinate box.

       xmin (PLFLT, input)
	      The minimum user x coordinate value.

       xmax (PLFLT, input)
	      The maximum user x coordinate value.

       ymin (PLFLT, input)
	      The minimum user y coordinate value.

       ymax (PLFLT, input)
	      The maximum user y coordinate value.

       zmin (PLFLT, input)
	      The minimum user z coordinate value.

       zmax (PLFLT, input)
	      The maximum user z coordinate value.

       alt (PLFLT, input)
	      The viewing altitude in degrees above the XY plane.

       az (PLFLT, input)
	      The viewing azimuth in degrees.  When az=0, the observer is looking face onto the ZX plane, and as az  is  increased,  the  observer
	      moves clockwise around the box when viewed from above the XY plane.

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.
