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, 21 and 26.

ARGUMENTS

       n (PLINT(3plplot), input)
              Number of points in the x and y vectors.

       x (PLFLT_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
              A vector containing the x coordinates of the points.

       y (PLFLT_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
              A vector containing the y coordinates of the points.

       string (PLCHAR_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
              A UTF-8 character string containing the glyph(s) to be plotted at each of the n points.
