NAME

6       plstring - Plot a glyph at the specified points
7

SYNOPSIS

9       plstring(n, x, y, string)
10

DESCRIPTION

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)

24       This function is used in examples 4, 21 and 26.

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
