6 plstring - Plot a glyph at the specified points
7
9 plstring(n, x, y, string)
10
12 Plot a glyph at the specified points. (Supersedes plpoin(3plplot) and
13 plsym(3plplot) because many[!] more glyphs are accessible with
14 plstring(3plplot).) The glyph is specified with a PLplot user string.
15 Note that the user string is not actually limited to one glyph so it is
16 possible (but not normally useful) to plot more than one glyph at the
17 specified points with this function. As with plmtex(3plplot) and plp‐
18 tex(3plplot), the user string can contain FCI escapes to determine the
19 font, UTF-8 code to determine the glyph or else PLplot escapes for Her‐
20 shey or unicode text to determine the glyph.

22 Redacted form: plstring(x, y, string)
23
24 This function is used in examples 4, 21 and 26.
25
27 n (PLINT(3plplot), input)
28 Number of points in the x and y vectors.
29
30 x (PLFLT_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
31 A vector containing the x coordinates of the points.
32
33 y (PLFLT_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
34 A vector containing the y coordinates of the points.
35
36 string (PLCHAR_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
37 A UTF-8 character string containing the glyph(s) to be plotted
38 at each of the n points.
