PLPTEX3(3)                        PLplot API                        PLPTEX3(3)



NAME
       plptex3 - Write text inside the viewport of a 3D plot.

SYNOPSIS
       plptex3(x, y, z, dx, dy, dz, sx, sy, sz, just, text)

DESCRIPTION
       Writes text at a specified position and inclination and with a
       specified shear 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,
       and the reference point is placed at world coordinates (x, y, z) within
       the viewport. The inclination and shear 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: plptex3(x, y, z, dx, dy, dz, sx, sy, sz,  just, text)

       This function is used in example 28.

ARGUMENTS
       x (PLFLT, input)
              x coordinate of reference point of string.

       y (PLFLT, input)
              y coordinate of reference point of string.

       z (PLFLT, input)
              z coordinate of reference point of string.

       dx (PLFLT, input)
              Together with dy and dz, this specifies the inclination of  the
              string.  The baseline of the string is parallel to a line
              joining (x, y, z) to (x+dx, y+dy, z+dz).

       dy (PLFLT, input)
              Together with dx and dz, this specifies the inclination of the
              string.

       dz (PLFLT, input)
              Together with dx and dy, this specifies the inclination of the
              string.

       sx (PLFLT, input)
              Together with sy and sz, this specifies the shear of  the
              string.  The string is sheared so that the characters are
              vertically parallel to a line joining (x, y, z) to (x+sx, y+sy,
              z+sz). If sx = sy = sz = 0.) then the text is not sheared.

       sy (PLFLT, input)
              Together with sx and sz, this specifies shear of the string.

       sz (PLFLT, input)
              Together with sx and sy, this specifies shear 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.
