AFAIU, you would like to have coordinates normalized either to the full axes, or to the full data ranges. This .position coordinates could match your requirement only when you have a single full scale plot in the figure (so no subplot nor xsetech() other insets), and you want coordinates normalized to the full axes (not data ranges). I see .. yes you are right. The option to set normalized positions would really be nice, but specifying "lower left" would probably already be sufficient for me (see bug report). As a work-around, this is definitely the easiest location to point to in data coordinates, since the block's anchor is set on its lower left corner: If your x and y axes are not reversed, the following should work: db = gca().data_bounds; // in Scilab 6, or ax = gca(); db = ax.data_bounds; // in Scilab 5 xstring(db(1), db(3), ...) ___ users mailing list users@lists.scilab.org http://lists.scilab.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Well, I'm all favor of removing these duplicates, however I don't think xstring is one of them. See my example at the very beginning of this thread. I'm using xstring to print some custom text, which AFAICS cannot be done using legends, legend, or captions. Right, because any legend block plots the legend /together with a line's sample/. I forgot this "small detail" :( Furthermore by unifying the syntax, between e.g. captions() and xstring() (i.e. by providing the same location options), this should simplify things - both from a user and code perspective! As posted in comment of the /wish /report: Being able to specify normalized coordinates relative to the data ranges or to any full axes range would actually be very great, but not only for xstring(). IMO, implementing and distributing a function dedicated to this job would be very useful and better. An option of it could be to provide the block of text, to take its size into account in the answer (to make it not crossing the border or margin after plotting). The locations by keywords like "in_upper_right" etc looks too stiff to me. The same should be possible at any location, not only on borders or margins, and again, for all plotting functions. xchange() could be extended. But it is hard-coded, so less easy to adapt (imo).

In both legend() and captions() are pos/ location handles available, like "in upper right". I think it would be reasonalbe to add this this argument to xstring as well. Hence I filled this bug: http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15245 I am afraid that you are making still worse the already very bad situation about legends(), legend(), captions() and the leg= plotting options, that all basically do the same thing, but all with pitfalls: http://bugzilla.scilab.org/5371 *By the way, why improving xstring() in this way to make it legend-like instead** **of using one of the existing functions?* In one hand, you agree on removing duplicates like xstringl() of stringbox() (http://bugzilla.scilab.org/14755#c1) . In the other hand, you are aiming to make a 5-plicate ;) Arrrg. I definitely disagree on making xstring() modifying the margins. IMO, it would be much better a) to actually gather existing legends functions, b) to add missing features to the merged version.

Hi Richard,
Le 10/08/2017 à 13:58, Richard llom a écrit :
Hey All,
I have this code to print some information in the graph:
// Save info as string
infobox(1) = msprintf('Min V %.2f V \n',min(log_data(:,3)));
infobox(2) = msprintf('Max V %.2f V \n',max(log_data(:,3)));
infobox(3) = msprintf('Capacity %.2f Ah\n',amphrs);
infobox(4) = msprintf(' %.2f Wh\n',watthrs);
// Print info as box on the figure
xstring(1,0.1,infobox,0,1);
boxh = gce();
boxh.font_style = 0; // Set monospace font
I agree, this forced trimming is often annoying.
There is here an easy workaround: use a 2-column matrix instead of a
unique column:
t = ["abc" "def"
"ghij" "kl"
"" "mn"
];
xstring(1,0.1,t,0,1);

[Scilab-users] Leading Spaces in xstring
Hey All,
I have this code to print some information in the graph:
// Save info as string
infobox(1) = msprintf('Min V %.2f V \n',min(log_data(:,3)));
infobox(2) = msprintf('Max V %.2f V \n',max(log_data(:,3)));
infobox(3) = msprintf('Capacity %.2f Ah\n',amphrs);
infobox(4) = msprintf(' %.2f Wh\n',watthrs);
// Print info as box on the figure
xstring(1,0.1,infobox,0,1);
boxh = gce();
boxh.font_style = 0; // Set monospace font
As you can see in infobox(4) I'm using just spaces to align the values.
However unfortunately xstring isn't printing these leading spaces.
Is this expected behavior or a bug?
Any ideas to workaround that limitation?
Thanks
richard
