        <p>Hello,</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>I'd like to add a characters string in a scilab plot. Using
          the "xstring()" function , I have to fix the positon of the
          text giving the X Y coordinates of the left bottom point of
          the box containing the text. I was wondring where was the
          origin position and how to know which distance should be
          considered?</p>
        <p> </p>
      </div>
    </blockquote>
    The string is supposed enclosed into a rectangle. The coordinates
    required for xstring are the coordinates of the top left corner of
    the rectangle<br>
    If you want to know the actual dimension of the minimal rectangle
    containing a string you may use the xstringl function.<br>
