plot_writestringrot 3 plot_writestringrot write a string onto the bitmap, with the text being rotated by the given angle #include&lt;libmplot.h&gt; int plot_writestringrot(plot_state *state, char *string, float angle); This function writes a string onto the specified bitmap. Note that the function does not implement any form of word wrap. This is the responsibility of the caller of the function. Have a look at the example below for a suggested technique for implementing word wrap. </para> <para> Note that the angle is in degrees. 0 on success, -1 otherwise #include&lt;libmplot.h&gt; plot_state *graph; char *words[] = {"This", "is", "a", "string", "which", "is", "quite", "long.", "It", "demonstrates", "how", "to", "do", "word", "wrap", NULL}; if((graph = plot_newplot(400, 300)) == NULL){ ... error ... } plot_setfontcolor(graph, 26, 22, 249); plot_setfont(graph, "/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n021004l.pfb", 12); plot_settextlocation(graph, 20, 70); count = 0; while(words[count] != NULL){ plot_gettextlocation(graph, &amp;textx, &amp;texty); if((textx + plot_stringwidth(graph, words[count])) > 380){ if(texty + 70 > 150) break; plot_settextlocation(graph, 20, texty + 20); } plot_writestringrot(graph, words[count], 45); plot_writestringrot(graph, " ", 45); count++; } This documentation was generated for libplot 0.3 by autodocbook (http://www.stillhq.com). libplot is under development by Michael Still (mikal@stillhq.com).
