NAME

6       plstring3 - Plot a glyph at the specified 3D points
7

SYNOPSIS

9       plstring3(n, x, y, z, string)
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Plot  a  glyph at the specified 3D points. (Supersedes plpoin3(3plplot)
13       because many[!] more glyphs are  accessible  with  plstring3(3plplot).)
14       Set  up  the  call  to  this  function  similar  to  what  is  done for
15       plline3(3plplot). The glyph is specified with  a  PLplot  user  string.
16       Note that the user string is not actually limited to one glyph so it is
17       possible (but not normally useful) to plot more than one glyph  at  the
18       specified  points with this function.  As with plmtex(3plplot) and plp‐
19       tex(3plplot), the user string can contain FCI escapes to determine  the
20       font, UTF-8 code to determine the glyph or else PLplot escapes for Her‐
21       shey or unicode text to determine the glyph.
22
23       Redacted form: plstring3(x, y, z, string)
24
25       This function is used in example 18.
