[scilab-Users] Question about xstring

[Manuel JULIACHS]

Hello,

each string object located outside the axes box (which is the case in 
your own example) is hidden
due to the fact that it is clipped against the box bounds and thus culled.

Setting each string object's clip_state property to "off" after it has 
been created should make it visible.

As an example:


xstring(0.0, -0.2, "cloudy");
e=gce();
e.clip_state="off";


Take a look at the text_properties help page for related information.
