💅 PL_SETCONTLABELPARAM (3plplot) — like, the PLplot API bestie ✨

okay so you found the contour-labeling page, congrats, this one's a little gem 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

pl_setcontlabelparam — sets the params for contour labelling that are not about the format of the numerical label itself, iykyk 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pl_setcontlabelparam(offset, size, spacing, active)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically, this is the function that handles all the contour-labelling knobs that pl_setcontlabelformat(3plplot) does not touch. The formatting one deals with the format of the numerical label; this one deals with everything else. They're giving sibling energy 👑

Redacted form, for the record:

pl_setcontlabelparam(offset, size, spacing, active)

Also, tiny fun fact: this function is used in example 9 — so if you wanna see it living its best life in actual code, that's where to look 🌈

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • offset (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — how far the label sits from the contour line. And bestie, listen: if you set this to 0.0, the labels get printed right on the lines. Default is 0.006. 🍓
  • size (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the font height for your contour labels, normalized. Default is 0.3. ✨
  • spacing (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the spacing parameter for contour labels. Default is 0.1. 🎀
  • active (PLINT(3plplot), input) — turns the labels on. Set it to 1 if you want contour labels on. Default is off (0), no cap. 🙈
