Pwrite_family - A utility for drawing text and other characters using polylines.
Pwrite_family is obsolete. It has been replaced by the Plotchar utility.
Entries PWRITX and PWRITY continue to be provided for compatibility of early NCAR Graphics codes. If you are writing new code, we suggest that you use Plotchar.
PWRITX (X,Y,IDPC,NCHAR,JSIZE,JOR,JCTR) - draws characters as
stroked polylines. It is the higher quality routine of the Pwrite_family.
PWRITY (X,Y,IDPC,NCHAR,JSIZE,JOR,JCTR) - also draws characters as stroked
polylines, but is quicker, of lower quality, and with less options than
PWRITX.
To use PWRITX or PWRITY, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, ncarg_c, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order.
