PLSDIPLZ(3plplot)

✨ PLSDIPLZ ✨ (the 3plplot era)

okay so bestie, welcome to the PLplot API 💖 you're about to meet plsdiplz, and honestly? she's that girl. she sets the parameters incrementally — zoom mode, babes — the ones that define your current plot-space window. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plsdiplz(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea ☕: plsdiplz sets your relative minima and maxima incrementally (that's zoom mode, iykyk) and those are literally the things that define the current plot-space window. 🎀

The way this works: if plsdiplt(3plplot) hasn't been called before, this function does exactly the same thing as plsdiplt(3plplot). same vibes, no notes. 💀

But if plsdiplt(3plplot) has already been called? then bestie we're in zoom mode, and it uses this transformation:

min_used = old_min + old_length*min
max_used = old_min + old_length*max

…for each axis. 🌈

Real-world example to make it click (not me doing math in public 🙈): if min = 0.05 and max = 0.95 for each axis, then every time you call plsdiplz(3plplot) you zoom in by 10 per cent. every. single. call. she ate. 🔥

Redacted form: plsdiplz(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)

This function is used in example 31. 👑

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• xmin (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the relative (incremental) minimum in x. 🍓
• ymin (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the relative (incremental) minimum in y. 🍓
• xmax (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the relative (incremental) maximum in x. 🍓
• ymax (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the relative (incremental) maximum in y. 🍓

like, all four are PLFLT(3plplot) inputs, all four are relative/incremental, and yes the x/y and min/max lineup is exactly what you'd expect. slay. 💜
