💅 PLSVECT — like, the plsvect page from the PLplot API, bestie ✨

Okay so gather round, we're talking about plsvect(3plplot) — that's the one, that's the girl. Full manual-page realness, PLplot API energy, let's GO 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

plsvect — set the arrow style for vector plots. Yes queen, you're picking what the arrows look like. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

plsvect(arrowx, arrowy, npts, fill)

That's the whole vibe check right there, no cap. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically plsvect sets the style for the arrow that plvect(3plplot) uses to plot vectors. Like, plvect is out here doing the actual vector plotting, and plsvect is the one styling the arrow. Main character energy, honestly. 👑

Redacted form, for the girls who like it short:

plsvect(arrowx, arrowy, fill)

Also, tea: this function is used in example 22. Fr fr. 🔥

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • arrowx, arrowy (PLFLT_VECTOR(3plplot), input) — a pair of vectors holding the x and y points that make up the arrow, aka the arrow's whole lewk. The arrow gets plotted by joining these points together into a polygon. The scaling assumes the x and y points of the arrow live in the range -0.5 <= x,y <= 0.5. And if both arrowx and arrowy are NULL, the arrow style gets reset back to its default — cute little factory reset moment, we love that for you. 🫶
  • npts (PLINT(3plplot), input) — how many points are in the vectors arrowx and arrowy. The count. The number. The receipts. 💀
  • fill (PLBOOL(3plplot), input) — if fill is true then the arrow is closed (filled-in vibe), and if fill is false then the arrow is open. Iconic behaviour either way. 🌈
