LAbel X|Y|Top|OX|OY|OTop|File|G# [label]
Place a label. The arguments X, Y, and Top would place a
label on the x-axis, y-axis, or the top of the
plot. It is possible
to place an additional line of text just outside these locations by
putting the letter `O' in front of these names. For example, OT
would write a second label above the top label. Finally one can change
the file name by using LA File [name] If you should at any time
wish to delete a label, then just omit the [label] from the command.
The command LA G# label would associate a label with a particular
plot group. PLT will use the group label on either the x or y-axis
if there is no corresponding x or y label.
LAbel OFf
Suppress plotting of all text labels. (This speeds up the production
of the plot on slow devices.)
LAbel ON
Undo the effects of LAbel OFf.
LAbel NX|NY ON|OFf [winlist]
where [winlist] is a list of windows. NX affects the plotting of the
numeric labels on the x-axis, NY on the y-axis. Thus LAbel NX OFF 1;
LAbel NY OFF 1, will prevent the plotting of the numeric labels in both
the X and Y directions for the first window. (Note, there are 32 numbered
labels, so using LAbel NX OF, followed by several LAbel # commands will
allow you to create labels consisting of text strings etc.
LAb POS Y #
Allows the position of the y label(s) to be moved. The default
position is LA POS Y 2.0.
LAbel Rotate
Rotate numerical labels plotted on the y-axis. The default PGPLOT
mode is to plot the y-axis numerical labels in the vertical direction.
LAbel Rotate will rotate these labels so they are written in a
horizontal direction. If you issue the command a second time, then
the labels will flip back to vertical in the next plot.
Examples:
PLT> LA F ! Delete the file name from the plot
PLT> LA T Test! Plot ! Top label is Test
PLT> LA T "Test! Plot" ! Top label is Test! Plot
LAbel Parm ON
Display the parameter values associated with the current model,
on the right side of the plot. (This is the default.)
LAbel Parm OFf
Suppress the display of the parameter values on the right side
of the plot.
LAbel # [clist] "string"
Allow a label to be placed anywhere on the existing graph. Here # is
a number in the range 1 to 32, [clist] is a list of subcommands that
allow you to change various attributes of the label, and ``string''
is the (optional) text. For example,
PLT> LAbel 1 Pos 2 2 "test"
will create label 1 at position (2,2) containing the message test.
LAbel # CEnter Top|Cap|Half|BAse|BOttom
Control the vertical position of the text string. The default
position is half, although the use of the LIne subcommand will
override this.
LAbel # COlor #
Cause the label to be plotted with color index #. (Default is color
index 1.)
LAbel # CSize #
Cause the label to be plotted with character size #. (Default is
character size 1.0.)
LAbel # Justify Left|Center|Right
Control justification of text string. (Default is to center justify.)
LAbel # LIne # [#]
Draw line at angle # (in degrees) from position to the label.
If the second number is specified, then it will be used as the length
of the line in viewport units. (Default line length is 0.08.) If no
number follows the LIne command, then the line is turned off.
LAbel # LStyle #
Control the line style of the line plotted, when the LIne
subcommand is used. (Default is 1.)
LAbel # Marker #
Include marker # in the text line. The default will produce
a left justified string just to the right of the marker. If you then
right justify the string, then the string will appear to the left of
the marker. In either case, the (x,y) position corresponds to the
position of the marker.
LAbel # MSize #
Use the specified marker size with plotting the specified numbered label.
LAbel # Position # #
Specify the (x,y) location of the string in world coordinates.
When using the LIne subcommand, Position # # gives the (x,y)
location of the position being `pointed at' with the text string at
the other end. If the Marker subcommand is used, then # # refers
to the location of the marker. For other cases, # # is the location
of the string. The CEnter and Justify subcommands can later
override how text is plotted relative to a location. (The default
location is (0,0).)
LAbel # Position Cursor
Display the cursor at the current default position. You can move
the cursor to the desired position using the standard (PGPLOT) cursor
keys. Once at the location where you want the label, press the space
bar. The next time the plot is drawn, the label will appear at the
new location.
LAbel # Rotate #
Plot the label at an angle of # (degrees) relative to the x-axis.
(Default angle is 0.)
LAbel # VPos # #
Specify the (x,y) location of the string in viewport coordinates.
When using the LIne subcommand, Position # # gives the (x,y)
location of the position being `pointed at' with the text string at
the other end. If the Marker subcommand is used, then # # refers
to the location of the marker. For other cases, # # is the location
of the string. The CEnter and Justify subcommands can later
override how text is plotted relative to a location.
LAbel # VPos Curs
Display the cursor at the current default position. You can move
the cursor to the desired position using the standard (PGPLOT) cursor
keys. Once at the location where you want the label, press the space
bar. The next time the plot is drawn, the label will appear at the
new location.
Examples:
PLT> LAbel 1 "TEST" ! Place the word TEST at location (0,0)
PLT> LAbel 1 P 10 10 ! TEST will now appear centered at (10,10)
PLT> LAbel 1 LIne 90 ! Draw a vertical line from the point (10,10) to
! the word TEST.
PLT> LAbel 1 CO 3 ! Color line and word TEST green
PLT> LAbel 1 P 10 10 LIne 90 CO 3 "TEST" ! Does all the above in a
PLT> ! single command
