NAME

       plmtex - Write text relative to viewport boundaries

SYNOPSIS

       plmtex(side, disp, pos, just, text)

DESCRIPTION

       Writes  text  at a specified position relative to the viewport boundaries.  Text may be written inside or
       outside the viewport, but is clipped at the subpage boundaries.  The reference point  of  a  string  lies
       along  a  line  passing  through  the string at half the height of a capital letter.  The position of the
       reference point along this line is determined by just, and the position of the reference  point  relative
       to the viewport is set by disp and pos.

       Redacted  form:   General:  plmtex(side,  disp,  pos, just, text) Perl/PDL: plmtex(disp, pos, just, side,
       text)

       This function is used in examples 3,4,6-8,11,12,14,18,23,26.

ARGUMENTS

       side (const char *, input)
              Specifies the side of the viewport along which the text is to be written. The string must  be  one
              of: b: Bottom of viewport, text written parallel to edge.  bv: Bottom of viewport, text written at
              right  angles to edge.  l: Left of viewport, text written parallel to edge.  lv: Left of viewport,
              text written at right angles to edge.  r: Right of viewport, text written parallel to  edge.   rv:
              Right  of  viewport,  text  written  at  right  angles  to edge.  t: Top of viewport, text written
              parallel to edge.  tv: Top of viewport, text written at right angles to edge.

       disp (PLFLT, input)
              Position of the reference point of string, measured outwards from the specified viewport  edge  in
              units of the current character height.  Use negative disp to write within the viewport.

       pos (PLFLT, input)
              Position of the reference point of string along the specified edge, expressed as a fraction of the
              length of the edge.

       just (PLFLT, input)
              Specifies  the  position of the string relative to its reference point.  If just=0., the reference
              point is at the left and if just=1., it is at the right of the string.  Other values of just  give
              intermediate justifications.

       text (const char *, input)
              The string to be written out.
