PLSTRING(3plplot) PLplot API PLSTRING(3plplot)NAME
plstring - Plot a glyph at the specified points
SYNOPSIS
plstring(n, x, y, string)
DESCRIPTION
Plot a glyph at the specified points. (Supersedes plpoin(3plplot) and plsym(3plplot) because many[!] more glyphs are accessible with
plstring(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 specified 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: plstring(x, y, string)
This function is used in examples 4 and 26.
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.
string (const char *, input)
PLplot user string corresponding to the glyph to be plotted at each of the n points.

PLSYAX(3plplot) PLplot API PLSYAX(3plplot)NAME
plsyax - Set y axis parameters
SYNOPSIS
plsyax(digmax, digits)
DESCRIPTION
Identical to plsxax(3plplot), except that arguments are flags for y axis. See the description of plsxax(3plplot) for more detail.
Redacted form: plsyax(digmax, digits)
This function is used in examples 1,14,31.
ARGUMENTS
digmax (PLINT, input)
Variable to set the maximum number of digits for the y axis. If nonzero, the printed label will be switched to a floating point
representation when the number of digits exceeds digmax.
digits (PLINT, input)
Field digits value. Currently, changing its value here has no effect since it is set only by plbox(3plplot) or plbox3(3plplot).
However, the user may obtain its value after a call to either of these functions by calling plgyax(3plplot).

I need to plot some files with the extension .plot, which I believe is a UNIX Plot(5) extension. Is UNIX Plot(5) something that I must download, or is it already built into UNIX? If it is already built in, is there a trick to actually plotting the files? Is there anything online that I could... (0 Replies)
Hi guys. Can anyone tell me how to determine points between two coardinates. For example: Which type of command line gives me
50 points between (8, -5, 7) and (2, 6, 9) points
Thanks (5 Replies)
