fma frame advance the current graphics window. The current picture remains displayed in the associated X window until the next element is actually plotted. Builtin function, documented at i0/graph.i line 310SEE ALSO: window, hcp, animate, plg
font
font= plotting keyword or height= plotting keyword or opaque= plotting keyword or orient= plotting keyword or justify= plotting keyword selects text properties. The font can be any of the strings "courier", "times", "helvetica" (the default), "symbol", or "schoolbook". Append "B" for boldface and "I" for italic, so "courierB" is boldface Courier, "timesI" is Times italic, and "helveticaBI" is bold italic (oblique) Helvetica. Your X server should have the Adobe fonts (available free from the MIT X distribution tapes) for all these fonts, preferably at both 75 and 100 dpi. Occasionally, a PostScript printer will not be equipped for some fonts; often New Century Schoolbook is missing. The font keyword may also be an integer: 0 is Courier, 4 is Times, 8 is Helvetica, 12 is Symbol, 16 is New Century Schoolbook, and you add 1 to get boldface and/or 2 to get italic (or oblique). The height is the font size in points; 14.0 is the default. X windows only has 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24 point fonts, so don't stray from these sizes if you want what you see on the screen to be a reasonably close match to what will be printed. By default, opaque=0 and text is transparent. Set opaque=1 to white-out a box before drawing the text. The default orient (orient=0) is left-to-right text; set orient=1 for text rotated 90 degrees so it reads upward, orient=2 for 180 degree rotation so it is upside down, and orient=3 for 270 degree rotation so it reads downward. The default text justification, justify="NN" is normal is both the horizontal and vertical directions. Other possibilities are "L", "C", or "R" for the first character, meaning left, center, and right horizontal justification, and "T", "C", "H", "A", or "B", meaning top, capline, half, baseline, and bottom vertical justification. The normal justification "NN" is equivalent to "LA". Common values are "LA", "CA", and "RA" for garden variety left, center, and right justified text, with the y coordinate at the baseline of the last line in the string presented to plt. The characters labeling the right axis of a plot are "RH", so that the y value of the text will match the y value of the corresponding tick. Similarly, the characters labeling the bottom axis of a plot are "CT". The justify= may also be a number, horizontal+vertical, where horizontal is 0 for "N", 1 for "L", 2 for "C", or 3 for "R", and vertical is 0 for "N", 4 for "T", 8 for "C", 12 for "H", 16 for "A", or 20 for "B".
