✨ PLSORI ✨

Okay bestie, plop yourself down, because today we're diving into the PLplot API — yes, the 3plplot section, that's our manual, and it's serving serious graphics-nerd realness. This page is all about plsori, which is literally just here to set your plot's orientation. She's small. She's simple. She slays. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

plsori — set orientation, baby!! Rotate that plot like you're spinning your phone to watch a video in bed. 🛏️

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

plsori(ori)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So plsori sets the integer plot orientation parameter. That's it. That's the whole vibe.

Here's the tea though — this function is identical to plsdiori(3plplot), the only difference being the type of the argument. So you use it exactly the same way, no cap. If you want the full deets, go read the documentation for plsdiori(3plplot) — she's the main character of that particular info drop, and this one's just her int-flavored twin. 👯‍♀️

Redacted form: plsori(ori) — yep, that's the shortened version, iykyk.

Also, fun fact: this function is used in example 3. So if you're out here reading example code and you spot her, don't be confused. She belongs there. 🎀

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • ori (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the orientation value, bestie. Think of it like this: 0 is landscape, 1 is portrait, etc. And here's the magic — the value gets multiplied by 90 degrees to get the actual angle. So 0 → 0°, 1 → 90°, and so on. Easy math, iconic results. 🌀

👑 AUTHORS 👑

Okay so this is not a solo project, this is a whole ensemble cast: many developers have contributed to PLplot over its long, long history — and honestly, the way that it's been going for ages? Respect. 🫶 They're all credited over at http://plplot.sourceforge.net/credits.php if you wanna go give them their flowers. 🌸

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Reminder: plsori and plsdiori(3plplot) do the same job — just different argument types. Don't mix them up on purpose, but also don't stress if you're wondering which one. 💀

And that's a wrap on this little page from the PLplot API manpage set, dated August, 2026 — short, sweet, and absolutely ate. Go set that orientation, you gorgeous integer-wielding legend. 🍓✨
