NAME

6       plpoin3 - Plot a glyph at the specified 3D points
7

SYNOPSIS

9       plpoin3(n, x, y, z, code)
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Plot  a  glyph  at  the specified 3D points.  (This function is largely
13       superseded by plstring3(3plplot) which gives  access  to  many[!]  more
14       glyphs.)  Set  up the call to this function similar to what is done for
15       plline3(3plplot). code=-1  means try to just draw a point.   Right  now
16       it's just a move and a draw at the same place.  Not ideal, since a suf‐
17       ficiently intelligent output device may optimize it away, or there  may
18       be  faster  ways of doing it.  This is OK for now, though, and offers a
19       4X speedup over drawing a Hershey font "point" (which is actually  dia‐
20       mond  shaped and therefore takes 4 strokes to draw).  If 0 < code < 32,
21       then a useful (but small subset) of Hershey symbols is plotted.  If  32
22       <= code <= 127 the corresponding printable ASCII character is plotted.

24       Redacted form: plpoin3(x, y, z, code)
25
26       This function is not used in any example.

ARGUMENTS

29       n (PLINT(3plplot), input)
30              Number of points in the x and y vectors.
31
32       x (PLFLT_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
33              A vector containing the x coordinates of points.
34
35       y (PLFLT_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
36              A vector containing the y coordinates of points.
37
38       z (PLFLT_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
39              A vector containing the z coordinates of points.
40
41       code (PLINT(3plplot), input)
42              Hershey  symbol code (in "ascii-indexed" form with -1 <= code <=
43              127) corresponding to a glyph to be plotted at  each  of  the  n
44              points.
