6 plmtex - Write text relative to viewport boundaries
7
9 plmtex(side, disp, pos, just, text)
10
12 Writes text at a specified position relative to the viewport bound‐
13 aries. Text may be written inside or outside the viewport, but is
14 clipped at the subpage boundaries. The reference point of a string
15 lies along a line passing through the string at half the height of a
16 capital letter. The position of the reference point along this line is
17 determined by just, and the position of the reference point relative to
18 the viewport is set by disp and pos.
19 Redacted form: General: plmtex(side, disp, pos, just, text) Perl/PDL:
21 plmtex(disp, pos, just, side, text)
22 This function is used in examples 3,4,6-8,11,12,14,18,23,26.
25
27 side (const char *, input)
28 Specifies the side of the viewport along which the text is to be
29 written. The string must be one of: b: Bottom of viewport, text
30 written parallel to edge. bv: Bottom of viewport, text written
31 at right angles to edge. l: Left of viewport, text written par‐
32 allel to edge. lv: Left of viewport, text written at right
33 angles to edge. r: Right of viewport, text written parallel to
34 edge. rv: Right of viewport, text written at right angles to
35 edge. t: Top of viewport, text written parallel to edge. tv:
36 Top of viewport, text written at right angles to edge.
37 disp (PLFLT, input)
40 Position of the reference point of string, measured outwards
41 from the specified viewport edge in units of the current charac‐
42 ter height. Use negative disp to write within the viewport.
43 pos (PLFLT, input)
45 Position of the reference point of string along the specified
46 edge, expressed as a fraction of the length of the edge.
47 just (PLFLT, input)
49 Specifies the position of the string relative to its reference
50 point. If just=0, the reference point is at the left and if
51 just=1, it is at the right of the string. Other values of just
52 give intermediate justifications.
53 text (const char *, input)
55 The string to be written out.
