#### `plptex`: Write text inside the viewport

`plptex (` | x ,
| y ,
| dx ,
| dy ,
| just ,
| text `)`;

Writes text at a specified position and inclination within the viewport. Text is clipped at the viewport boundaries. The reference point of a string lies along a line passing through the string at half the height of a capital letter. The position of the reference point along this line is determined by ``just`` , the reference point is placed at world coordinates `(`x`, `y`)` within the viewport. The inclination of the string is specified in terms of differences of world coordinates making it easy to write text parallel to a line in a graph.

`x` (``PLFLT``, input)

  x coordinate of reference point of string.

`y` (``PLFLT``, input)

  y coordinate of reference point of string.

`dx` (``PLFLT``, input)

  Together with ``dy`` , this specifies the inclination of the string. The baseline of the string is parallel to a line joining `(`x`, `y`)` to `(`x`+`dx`, `y`+`dy`)` .

`dy` (``PLFLT``, input)

  Together with ``dx`` , this specifies the inclination of the string.

`just` (``PLFLT``, input)

  Specifies the position of the string relative to its reference point. If ``just`=0.` , the reference point is at the left and if ``just`=1.` , it is at the right of the string. Other values of ``just`` give intermediate justifications.

`text` (``PLCHAR_VECTOR``, input)

  A UTF-8 character string to be written out.

Redacted form: `plptex(x, y, dx, dy, just, text)`

This function is used in example 2-4,10,12-14,20,23,24,26.
