6 Pwrite_family - A utility for drawing text and other characters using
7 polylines.

10 Pwrite_family is obsolete. It has been replaced by the Plotchar
11 utility.
12
13 Entries PWRITX and PWRITY continue to be provided for compatibility of
14 early NCAR Graphics codes. If you are writing new code, we suggest
15 that you use Plotchar.
16
18 PWRITX (X,Y,IDPC,NCHAR,JSIZE,JOR,JCTR) - draws characters as stroked
19 polylines. It is the higher quality routine of the Pwrite_family.
20 PWRITY (X,Y,IDPC,NCHAR,JSIZE,JOR,JCTR) - also draws characters as
21 stroked polylines, but is quicker, of lower quality, and with less
22 options than PWRITX.
23
25 To use PWRITX or PWRITY, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg,
26 ncarg_gks, ncarg_c, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order.
