xstring - draw strings

Calling Sequence

xstring(x,y,str,[angle,box])

Parameters

• x,y : real scalars, coordinates of the lower-left point of the strings.
• str : matrix of strings.
• angle : real, clockwise angle in degree; default is 0.
• box : integer, default is 0.

Description

xstring draws the matrix of strings str at location x,y (lower-left point) in the current graphic scale: each row of the matrix stands for a line of text and row elements stand for words separated by a white space. If angle is given, it gives the slope in degree used for drawing the strings. If box is 1 and angle is 0, a box is drawn around the strings.

Examples

plot2d([0;1],[0;1],0)
xstring(0.5,0.5,["Scilab" "is"; "not" "esilaB"])
//Other example
alphabet=["a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" ..
          "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" ..
          "o" "p" "q" "r" "s" "t" "u" ..
          "v" "w" "x" "y" "z"];
xbasc()
plot2d([0;1],[0;2],0)
xstring(0.1,1.8,alphabet)     // alphabet
xstring(0.1,1.6,alphabet,0,1) // alphabet in a box
xstring(0.1,1.4,alphabet,20)  // angle
xset("font",1,1)              // use symbol fonts
xstring(0.1,0.1,alphabet)
xset("font",1,3)              // change size font
xstring(0.1,0.3,alphabet)
xset("font",1,24); xstring(0.1,0.6,"a") //big alpha
xset("default")
