NAME
plpoin3 - Plot a glyph at the specified 3D points SYNOPSIS
plpoin3(n, x, y, z, code) DESCRIPTION
Plot a glyph at the specified 3D points. (This function is largely superseded by plstring3(3plplot) which gives access to many[!] more glyphs.) Set up the call to this function similar to what is done for plline3(3plplot). code=-1 means try to just draw a point. Right now it's just a move and a draw at the same place. Not ideal, since a sufficiently intelligent output device may optimize it away, or there may be faster ways of doing it. This is OK for now, though, and offers a 4X speedup over drawing a Hershey font "point" (which is actually diamond shaped and therefore takes 4 strokes to draw). If 0 < code < 32, then a useful (but small subset) of Hershey symbols is plotted. If 32 <= code <= 127 the corresponding printable ASCII character is plotted. Redacted form: plpoin3(x, y, z, code) This function is not used in any example. ARGUMENTS
n (PLINT, input) Number of points in the x and y 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. code (PLINT, input) Hershey symbol code (in "ascii-indexed" form with -1 <= code <= 127) corresponding to a glyph to be plotted at each of the n points.

NAME
plmesh - Plot surface mesh SYNOPSIS
plmesh(x, y, z, nx, ny, opt) DESCRIPTION
Plots a surface mesh within the environment set up by plw3d(3plplot). The surface is defined by the two-dimensional array z[nx][ny], the point z[i][j] being the value of the function at (x[i], y[j]). Note that the points in arrays x and y do not need to be equally spaced, but must be stored in ascending order. The parameter opt controls the way in which the surface is displayed. For further details see the PLplot documentation. Redacted form: plmesh(x, y, z, opt) This function is used in example 11. ARGUMENTS
x (PLFLT *, input) Pointer to set of x coordinate values at which the function is evaluated. y (PLFLT *, input) Pointer to set of y coordinate values at which the function is evaluated. z (PLFLT **, input) Pointer to a vectored two-dimensional array with set of function values. nx (PLINT, input) Number of x values at which function is evaluated. ny (PLINT, input) Number of y values at which function is evaluated. opt (PLINT, input) Determines the way in which the surface is represented: opt=DRAW_LINEX: Lines are drawn showing z as a function of x for each value of y[j]. opt=DRAW_LINEY: Lines are drawn showing z as a function of y for each value of x[i]. opt=DRAW_LINEXY: Network of lines is drawn connecting points at which function is defined.
