Appendix A Fonts, Strings, and Symbols

The GNU libplot graphics library and applications built on it, such as graph, plot, pic2plot, tek2plot, and plotfont, can draw text strings in a wide variety of fonts. Text strings may include characters from more than one font in a typeface, and may include superscripts, subscripts, and square roots. A wide variety of marker symbols can also be drawn. The following sections explain how to use these features.

• Text Fonts: Available text fonts
• Cyrillic and Japanese: The Cyrillic and Japanese fonts
• Text Fonts in X: Available text fonts in the X Window System
• Text String Format: Text string formatting (with escape sequences)
