PLVPAS(3plplot)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to PLVPAS(3plplot) from the PLplot API — this one is all about specifying a viewport using coordinates and an aspect ratio. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plvpas(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, aspect)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is a device-independent routine for setting up the viewport. The viewport is chosen to be the largest one with the given aspect ratio that fits within the specified region (in terms of normalized subpage coordinates). It is functionally equivalent to plvpor(3plplot) when a “natural” aspect ratio (0.0) is chosen. And unlike plvasp(3plplot), this routine reserves no extra space at the edges for labels. no cap.

Redacted form: plvpas(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, aspect)

This function is used in example 9. 🎀

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• xmin (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the normalized subpage coordinate of the left-hand edge of the viewport. 👈
• xmax (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the normalized subpage coordinate of the right-hand edge of the viewport. 👉
• ymin (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the normalized subpage coordinate of the bottom edge of the viewport. 👇
• ymax (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the normalized subpage coordinate of the top edge of the viewport. 👆
• aspect (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — ratio of length of y axis to length of x axis. 📐
