PLBIN(3plplot)							    PLplot API							    PLBIN(3plplot)

NAME

       plbin - Plot a histogram from binned data

SYNOPSIS

       plbin(nbin, x, y, opt)

DESCRIPTION

       Plots  a  histogram consisting of nbin bins.  The value associated with the i'th bin is placed in x[i], and the number of points in the bin
       is placed in y[i].  For proper operation, the values in x[i] must form a strictly increasing sequence.  By default, x[i] is  the  left-hand
       edge  of  the  i'th  bin.  If opt=PL_BIN_CENTRED is used, the bin boundaries are placed midway between the values in the x array.  Also see
       plhist(3plplot) for drawing histograms from unbinned data.

       Redacted form:  General: plbin(x, y, opt) Perl/PDL: plbin(nbin, x, y, opt) Python: plbin(nbin, x, y, opt)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS

       nbin (PLINT, input)
	      Number of bins (i.e., number of values in x and y arrays.)

       x (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to array containing values associated with bins.	These must form a strictly increasing sequence.

       y (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to array containing number of points in bin.  This is a PLFLT (instead of PLINT) array so as to allow histograms	of  proba-
	      bilities, etc.

       opt (PLINT, input)
	      Is a combination of several flags: opt=PL_BIN_DEFAULT: The x represent the lower bin boundaries, the outer bins are expanded to fill
	      up the entire x-axis and bins of zero height are simply drawn.  opt=PL_BIN_CENTRED|...: The bin boundaries are to be midway  between
	      the  x  values.  If  the values in x are equally spaced, the values are the center values of the bins.  opt=PL_BIN_NOEXPAND|...: The
	      outer bins are drawn with equal size as the ones inside.	opt=PL_BIN_NOEMPTY|...: Bins with zero height are not drawn  (there  is  a
	      gap for such bins).

NAME

       plstring3 - Plot a glyph at the specified 3D points

SYNOPSIS

       plstring3(n, x, y, z, string)

DESCRIPTION

       Plot  a glyph at the specified 3D points. (Supersedes plpoin3(3plplot) because many[!] more glyphs are accessible with plstring3(3plplot).)
       Set up the call to this function similar to what is done for plline3(3plplot). The glyph is specified with a PLplot user string.  Note that
       the  user string is not actually limited to one glyph so it is possible (but not normally useful) to plot more than one glyph at the speci-
       fied points with this function.	As with plmtex(3plplot) and plptex(3plplot), the user string can contain  FCI  escapes	to  determine  the
       font, UTF-8 code to determine the glyph or else PLplot escapes for Hershey or unicode text to determine the glyph.

       Redacted form: plstring3(x, y, z, string)

       This function is used in example 18.

ARGUMENTS

       n (PLINT, input)
	      Number of points in the x, y, and z arrays.

       x (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to an array with X coordinates of points.

       y (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to an array with Y coordinates of points.

       z (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to an array with Z coordinates of points.

       string (const char *, input)
	      PLplot user string corresponding to the glyph to be plotted at each of the n points.
