NAME

       plsdiori - Set plot orientation

SYNOPSIS

       plsdiori(rot)

DESCRIPTION

       Set plot orientation parameter which is multiplied by 90 degrees to obtain the angle of rotation.  Note, arbitrary rotation parameters such
       as 0.2 (corresponding to 18 degrees) are possible, but the usual values for the rotation parameter are 0., 1., 2., and 3. corresponding	to
       0  degrees  (landscape  mode),  90  degrees  (portrait  mode),  180  degrees  (seascape mode), and 270 degrees (upside-down mode).  If pls-
       diori(3plplot) is not called the default value of rot is 0.

       N.B. aspect ratio is unaffected by calls to plsdiori(3plplot).  So you will probably want to change the aspect ratio to	a  value  suitable
       for  the plot orientation using a call to plsdidev(3plplot) or the command-line options -a or -freeaspect.  For more documentation of those
       options see the PLplot documentation.  Such command-line options can be set internally using plsetopt(3plplot) or set  directly	using  the
       command line and parsed using a call to	plparseopts(3plplot).

       Redacted form: plsdiori(rot)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS

       rot (PLFLT, input)
	      Plot orientation parameter.

PLSTRING3(3plplot)						    PLplot API							PLSTRING3(3plplot)

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.
