TextItem example 6
How to set text justification
This example can be created using HLU C library calls, HLU FORTRAN calls, or NCL. This example demonstrates how to set the justification point of a text string. The names of the source files for this example are tx06c.c, tx06f.f, and tx06n.ncl.
Discussion
This module discusses how to create this plot using HLU function calls
or NCL. A resource file is not used with this example. A detailed discussion of how this example works appears in its source code.
Creating the plot using HLU C library calls
The HLU C program that generates this plot is called tx06c.c.
Creating the plot using HLU FORTRAN library calls
The HLU FORTRAN program that generates this plot is called tx06f.f.
Creating the plot using NCL
The NCL script that generates this plot is called tx06n.ncl.
The data
This plot does not use any external data.
How to run this example
