💅 PLPREC(3plplot) — the PLplot API, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real quick: this page lives in the PLplot API manual, and it's literally all about <pink>plprec</pink> — the precision princess of numeric labels. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

plprec — sets the precision in numeric labels. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plprec(setp, prec)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically plprec sets the number of places after the decimal point in numeric labels. iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

Redacted form: plprec(setp, prec)

And fun fact: this function is used in example 29. go look at it, iykyk. 👑

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

🍓 setp (PLINT(3plplot), input)

This is the switch, the main character of the two ngl:

  • If setp is equal to 0 then PLplot automatically determines the number of places to use after the decimal point in numeric labels (like those used to label axes). she's autonomous, she's got this. ✨
  • If setp is 1 then prec sets the number of places. you're driving now bestie 🫶

🌈 prec (PLINT(3plplot), input)

The number of characters to draw after the decimal point in numeric labels. that's the whole job. lowkey simple, highkey important. 💜

ngl both of these are PLINT(3plplot) and both are input — no output shenanigans here, she just takes. 💀
