NAME
       plstring - Plot a glyph at the specified points

SYNOPSIS
       plstring(n, x, y, string)

DESCRIPTION
       Plot  a	glyph  at  the	specified  points.  (Supersedes plpoin(3plplot) and plsym(3plplot) because many[!] more glyphs are accessible with
       plstring(3plplot).) The glyph is specified with a PLplot user string.  Note that the user string is not actually limited to one glyph so it
       is  possible (but not normally useful) to plot more than one glyph at the specified points with this function.  As with plmtex(3plplot) and
       plptex(3plplot), the user string can contain FCI escapes to determine the font, UTF-8 code to determine the glyph or  else  PLplot  escapes
       for Hershey or unicode text to determine the glyph.

       Redacted form: plstring(x, y, string)

       This function is used in examples 4 and 26.

ARGUMENTS
       n (PLINT, input)
	      Number of points in the x and y arrays.

       x (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to an array with X coordinates of points.

       y (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to an array with Y coordinates of points.

       string (const char *, input)
	      PLplot user string corresponding to the glyph to be plotted at each of the n points.
