NAME
plmtex3 - Write text relative to viewport boundaries in 3D plots. SYNOPSIS
plmtex3(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: plmtex3(side, disp, pos, just, text) This function is used in example 28. ARGUMENTS
side (const char *, input) Specifies the side of the viewport along which the text is to be written. The string should contain one or more of the following characters: [xyz][ps][v]. Only one label is drawn at a time, i.e. xyp will only label the X axis, not both the X and Y axes. x: Label the X axis. y: Label the Y axis. z: Label the Z axis. p: Label the primary axis. For Z this is the leftmost Z axis. For X it is the axis that starts at y-min. For Y it is the axis that starts at x-min. s: Label the secondary axis. v: Draw the text per- pendicular to the axis. 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

NAME
plcalc_world - Calculate world coordinates and corresponding window index from relative device coordinates SYNOPSIS
plcalc_world(rx, ry, wx, wy, window) DESCRIPTION
Calculate world coordinates, wx and wy, and corresponding window index from relative device coordinates, rx and ry. Redacted form: General: plcalc_world(rx, ry, wx, wy, window) Perl/PDL: Not available? This function is used in example 31. ARGUMENTS
rx (PLFLT, input) Input relative device coordinate (ranging from 0. to 1.) for the x coordinate. ry (PLFLT, input) Input relative device coordinate (ranging from 0. to 1.) for the y coordinate. wx (PLFLT *, output) Pointer to the returned world coordinate for x corresponding to the relative device coordinates rx and ry. wy (PLFLT *, output) Pointer to the returned world coordinate for y corresponding to the relative device coordinates rx and ry. window (PLINT *, output) Pointer to the returned last defined window index that corresponds to the input relative device coordinates (and the returned world coordinates). To give some background on the window index, for each page the initial window index is set to zero, and each time plwind(3plplot) is called within the page, world and device coordinates are stored for the window and the window index is incre- mented. Thus, for a simple page layout with non-overlapping viewports and one window per viewport, window corresponds to the view- port index (in the order which the viewport/windows were created) of the only viewport/window corresponding to rx and ry. However, for more complicated layouts with potentially overlapping viewports and possibly more than one window (set of world coordinates) per viewport, window and the corresponding output world coordinates corresponds to the last window created that fulfils the criterion that the relative device coordinates are inside it. Finally, in all cases where the input relative device coordinates are not inside any viewport/window, then window is set to -1. AUTHORS
