Parameter y is the latitude at which the output string should start.string

UNIX and OpenVMS Users: You may notice that under the X Window System the size of the software fonts varies from device to device. When you start PV-WAVE, the PV-WAVE hardware font is set to the current hardware font of the X server. Not all X servers will have the same default font size because users can reconfigure the default font and the default font can differ between X servers. Therefore, you may discover that the hardware font size, and therefore the software font size, may vary across different workstations. You can avoid this by explicitly setting the X font using the DEVICE procedure. For example:
MAP, RANGE = [-150, 30, 30, 70]
MAP_XYOUTS, -105.3, 40.0, 'Boulder', Color=5,$
Charsize = 1.5, Charthick = 2
