NAME
       plsdiori - Set plot orientation

SYNOPSIS
       plsdiori(rot)

DESCRIPTION
       Set plot orientation parameter which is multiplied by 90 degrees to obtain the angle of rotation.  Note, arbitrary rotation parameters such
       as 0.2 (corresponding to 18 degrees) are possible, but the usual values for the rotation parameter are 0., 1., 2., and 3. corresponding	to
       0  degrees  (landscape  mode),  90  degrees  (portrait  mode),  180  degrees  (seascape mode), and 270 degrees (upside-down mode).  If pls-
       diori(3plplot) is not called the default value of rot is 0.

       N.B. aspect ratio is unaffected by calls to plsdiori(3plplot).  So you will probably want to change the aspect ratio to	a  value  suitable
       for  the plot orientation using a call to plsdidev(3plplot) or the command-line options -a or -freeaspect.  For more documentation of those
       options see the PLplot documentation.  Such command-line options can be set internally using plsetopt(3plplot) or set  directly	using  the
       command line and parsed using a call to	plparseopts(3plplot).

       Redacted form: plsdiori(rot)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS
       rot (PLFLT, input)
	      Plot orientation parameter.
