 Calling Sequence textplot3d(L, options)

Parameters

 L - list or set options - optional arguments (see Description)

Description

 • This function allows one to plot text in three dimensional space. For plotting text in two dimensions see plots[textplot]. The input L to textplot3d is either a single text point or a list or set of text points.  Here a single text point consists of four components with the last component being the text to be placed at the coordinates defined by the first components of the text point.
 • The default alignment is centered in both right and left along with top and bottom. One can reset the desired alignment for the text via the option \mathrm{align}=t, where t is either one of BELOW, RIGHT, ABOVE, LEFT or a list or set of these alignment specifications.  The rest of the options to textplot3d are the same as the options to plot3d.  See plot3d/option.
 • The align, color and font options may be included within a text point list, in which case they apply only to that particular point.
