This function allows one to plot text in three dimensional space. For plotting text in two dimensions see plots[textplot]. The input L to textplot3d is either a single text point or a list or set of text points. Here a single text point consists of four components with the last component being the text to be placed at the coordinates defined by the first components of the text point.

The default alignment is centered in both right and left along with top and bottom. One can reset the desired alignment for the text via the option $\mathrm{align}=t$, where t is either one of BELOW, RIGHT, ABOVE, LEFT or a list or set of these alignment specifications. The rest of the options to textplot3d are the same as the options to plot3d. See plot3d/option .

The align, color and font options may be included within a text point list, in which case they apply only to that particular point.
