NAME

       plmapstring - Plot all or a subset of Shapefile data using strings or points in world coordinates

SYNOPSIS

       plmapstring(mapform, name, string, minx, maxx, miny, maxy, plotentries, nplotentries)

DESCRIPTION

       As  per  plmapline(3plplot),  however  the  items  are  plotted  as  strings or points in the same way as
       plstring(3plplot).

       Redacted form: plmapstring(mapform, name, string, minx, maxx, miny, maxy, plotentries)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS

       mapform (PLMAPFORM_callback(3plplot), input)
              A user supplied function to  transform  the  coordinates  given  in  the  shapefile  into  a  plot
              coordinate system. By using this transform, we can change from a longitude, latitude coordinate to
              a  polar  stereographic  project,  for  example.   Initially,  x[0]..[n-1]  are the longitudes and
              y[0]..y[n-1] are the corresponding latitudes.  After the call to mapform(), x[] and y[] should  be
              replaced  by  the  corresponding  plot  coordinates.  If  no  transform is desired, mapform can be
              replaced by NULL.

       name (PLCHAR_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
              An ascii character string specifying the file name of a set of Shapefile files  without  the  file
              extension.

       string (PLCHAR_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
              A UTF-8 character string to be drawn.

       minx (PLFLT(3plplot), input)
              The  minimum  x  value to be plotted. This must be in the same units as used by the Shapefile. You
              could use a very large negative number to plot everything, but  you  can  improve  performance  by
              limiting  the area drawn. The units must match those of the Shapefile projection, which may be for
              example longitude or distance. The value of minx must be less than the value of maxx.

       maxx (PLFLT(3plplot), input)
              The maximum x value to be plotted. You could use a very large number to plot everything,  but  you
              can improve performance by limiting the area drawn.

       miny (PLFLT(3plplot), input)
              The  minimum  y  value to be plotted. This must be in the same units as used by the Shapefile. You
              could use a very large negative number to plot everything, but  you  can  improve  performance  by
              limiting  the area drawn. The units must match those of the Shapefile projection, which may be for
              example latitude or distance. The value of miny must be less than the value of maxy.

       maxy (PLFLT(3plplot), input)
              The maximum y value to be plotted. You could use a very large number to plot everything,  but  you
              can improve performance by limiting the area drawn.

       plotentries (PLINT_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
              A  vector containing the zero-based indices of the Shapefile elements which will be drawn. Setting
              plotentries to NULL will plot all elements of the Shapefile.

       nplotentries (PLINT(3plplot), input)
              The number of items in plotentries.  Ignored if plotentries is NULL.
