        <p>Thanks Serge for your reply, but I'm not sure it answered my
          problem. In fact I want to know how to calculate the
          appropriate coordinates to place the ttext at the relevant
          poisiton of my plot... </p>

    How do you define "the appropriate coordinates"?<br>
    <br>
    Please find below an example of string placement<br>
    <br>
    t=linspace(0,2*%pi,100);<br>
    clf;plot(t,sin(t))<br>
    //now I want to draw a string  at different locations<br>
    str="Scilab";<br>
    rect=xstringl(0,0,str);<br>
    //the lower left corner of the rectangle surrounding the string 
    positionned at the (3,sin(3)) point<br>
    plot(3,sin(3),'xr')<br>
    xstring(3,sin(3),str)<br>
    e=gce();e.box='on';<br>
    //the upper left corner of the rectangle surrounding the string is
    positionned at the (3,sin(3)) point<br>
    plot(2,sin(2),'xr')<br>
    xstring(2,sin(2)-rect(4),str)<br>
    e=gce();e.box='on';<br>

              <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>
