NAME
plpoin - Plot a glyph at the specified points
SYNOPSIS
plpoin(n, x, y, code)
DESCRIPTION
Plot a glyph at the specified points. (This function is largely superseded by plstring(3plplot) which gives access to many[!] more glyphs.) 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: plpoin(x, y, code) This function is used in examples 1,6,14,29.
ARGUMENTS
n (PLINT, input) Number of points in the x and y arrays. x (const PLFLT *, input) Pointer to an array with X coordinates of points. y (const PLFLT *, input) Pointer to an array with Y 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.
