plmaptex: Draw text at points defined by Shapefile data in world coordinates

Declaration
public void maptex(MapFunc mapform, string name, Double dx, Double dy, Double just, string text, Double minx, Double maxx, Double miny, Double maxy, Int32 plotentry)
Parameters
Type Name Description
MapFunc mapform

A user supplied function to transform the coordinates given in the shapefile into a plot coordinate system. By using this transform, we can change from a longitude, latitude coordinate to a polar stereographic project, for example. Initially, x[0]..[n-1] are the longitudes and y[0]..y[n-1] are the corresponding latitudes. After the call to mapform(), x[] and y[] should be replaced by the corresponding plot coordinates. If no transform is desired, mapform can be replaced by NULL.
System.String name

An ascii character string specifying the file name of a set of Shapefile files without the file extension.
Double dx

Used to define the slope of the texts which is dy/dx.
Double dy

Used to define the slope of the texts which is dy/dx.
Double just

Set the justification of the text. The value given will be the fraction of the distance along the string that sits at the given point. 0.0 gives left aligned text, 0.5 gives centralized text and 1.0 gives right aligned text.
System.String text

A UTF-8 character string to be drawn.
Double minx

The minimum x value to be plotted. This must be in the same units as used by the Shapefile. You could use a very large negative number to plot everything, but you can improve performance by limiting the area drawn. The units must match those of the Shapefile projection, which may be for example longitude or distance. The value of minx must be less than the value of maxx.
Double maxx

The maximum x value to be plotted. You could use a very large number to plot everything, but you can improve performance by limiting the area drawn.
Double miny

The minimum y value to be plotted. This must be in the same units as used by the Shapefile. You could use a very large negative number to plot everything, but you can improve performance by limiting the area drawn. The units must match those of the Shapefile projection, which may be for example latitude or distance. The value of miny must be less than the value of maxy.
Double maxy

The maximum y value to be plotted. You could use a very large number to plot everything, but you can improve performance by limiting the area drawn.
Int32 plotentry

An integer indicating which text string of the Shapefile (zero indexed) will be drawn.
Remarks

As per plmapline, however the items are plotted as text in the same way as plptex.
