20
22 rx (PLFLT(3plplot), input)
23 Input relative device coordinate (0.0-1.0) for the x coordinate.
24
25 ry (PLFLT(3plplot), input)
26 Input relative device coordinate (0.0-1.0) for the y coordinate.
27
28 wx (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
29 Returned value of the x world coordinate corresponding to the
30 relative device coordinates rx and ry.
31
32 wy (PLFLT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
33 Returned value of the y world coordinate corresponding to the
34 relative device coordinates rx and ry.
35
36 window (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
37 Returned value of the last defined window index that corresponds
38 to the input relative device coordinates (and the returned world
39 coordinates). To give some background on the window index, for
40 each page the initial window index is set to zero, and each time
41 plwind(3plplot) is called within the page, world and device
42 coordinates are stored for the window and the window index is
43 incremented. Thus, for a simple page layout with non-overlapā
44 ping viewports and one window per viewport, window corresponds
45 to the viewport index (in the order which the viewport/windows
46 were created) of the only viewport/window corresponding to rx
47 and ry. However, for more complicated layouts with potentially
48 overlapping viewports and possibly more than one window (set of
49 world coordinates) per viewport, window and the corresponding
50 output world coordinates corresponds to the last window created
51 that fulfills the criterion that the relative device coordinates
52 are inside it. Finally, in all cases where the input relative
53 device coordinates are not inside any viewport/window, then the
54 returned value of the last defined window index is set to -1.
