# asclabel¶

## Purpose¶

To set up character labels for the X and Y axes. NOTE: This function is for the deprecated PQG graphics.

pgraph

## Format¶

asclabel(xl, yl)
Parameters
• xl (string or Nx1 character vector) – labels for the tick marks on the x-axis. Set to 0 if no character labels for this axis are desired.

• yl (string or Mx1 character vector) – labels for the tick marks on the y-axis. Set to 0 if no character labels for this axis are desired.

## Examples¶

This illustrates how to label the x-axis with the months of the year:

library pgraph;
lab = { JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC };
asclabel(lab, 0);


This will also work:

lab = "JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC";
asclabel(lab, 0);


If the string format is used, then escape characters may be embedded in the labels. For example, the following produces character labels that are multiples of $$\lambda$$. The font Simgrma must be previously loaded in a fonts command.

fonts("simplex simgrma");
lab = "\2010.25\202l \2010.5\202l \2010.75\202l l";
asclabel(lab, 0);


Here, the “\202l” produces the “$$λ$$” symbol from Simgrma.
