PLWIND(3plplot)

✨ NAME ✨

plwind — the one that specifies the window, bestie 💅 (this is from the PLplot API, mwah)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plwind(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you've got a viewport, right? plwind literally specifies the window — which is just the fancy way of saying the world coordinates of the edges of the viewport. Like, you're telling PLplot exactly which chunk of world-space your little viewport rectangle is staring at. Iconic. 🎀

Redacted form, for the folks who like it abbreviated:

plwind(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)

And listen — this function is out here doing the absolute most, because it shows up in examples 1, 2, 4, 6-12, 14-16, 18, 21, 23-27, 29, and 31. Not 3, not 13, not 17, not 19, not 20, not 22, not 28, not 30. She's booked and busy but she's not everywhere. 😭

Heads up bestie: the coordinate order is xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax — min/max pairs, not min/min/max/max. Ask me how I know. 🙈

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• xmin (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the world x coordinate of the left-hand edge of the viewport. Left. As in, the side your ex is on. ⭐
• xmax (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the world x coordinate of the right-hand edge of the viewport. Righthand side, the correct side, no cap 💅
• ymin (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the world y coordinate of the bottom edge of the viewport. Down bad, literally. 🍓
• ymax (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the world y coordinate of the top edge of the viewport. Main character energy, elevated, up top 👑

All four are PLFLT(3plplot) and all four are input. Four little numbers, one big slay.
