✨ PLSFONT ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to PLSFONT(3plplot) — that's a page from the PLplot API and it's literally about making your font look cute 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

plsfont — set the family, style and weight of the current font. glow-up for text, basically ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plsfont(family, style, weight)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this one sets the current font. That's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

If you want the full tea on how font selection works, check the PLplot documentation — it's all there, no cap.

Redacted form: plsfont(family, style, weight) — yeah she's the same both ways, iconic behavior honestly 👑

Also, fun fact: this function is used in example 23. so if you wanna see her in action, that's where she lives 🏠

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • family (PLINT(3plplot), input) — which font family you're picking for the current font. The available values come from the PL_FCI_* constants in plplot.h. Current options are PL_FCI_SANS, PL_FCI_SERIF, PL_FCI_MONO, PL_FCI_SCRIPT and PL_FCI_SYMBOL. And listen — a negative value means the font family does not get altered. like, hands off, she's fine as she is 🙈
  • style (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the font style for the current font. Again, values come from the PL_FCI_* constants in plplot.h. Current options are PL_FCI_UPRIGHT, PL_FCI_ITALIC and PL_FCI_OBLIQUE. A negative value means the font style does not get altered. leave her alone bestie 💀
  • weight (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the font weight for the current font. Values from the PL_FCI_* constants in plplot.h, as always. Current options are PL_FCI_MEDIUM and PL_FCI_BOLD. A negative value means the font weight does not get altered — no thickening today, respectfully 🌈
quick vibe check: all three args are PLINT(3plplot) and all three are inputs, and in all three cases negative = don't touch it. remember that and you're golden ⭐
