Syntax
'TEXT'(x,y,text{,mode{,rotation{,scale{,scale}}}})
Description
The 'TEXT' mnemonic plots text in the text string (with modifications) starting at x and y. The method used to plot the text may be modified using the mode argument. The mode is interpreted in the following manner:
|
Bit |
Value |
Description |
|
0-1 |
0 |
Align columns left (text starts on X). |
|
|
1 |
Align columns center (text is centered on X). |
|
|
2 |
Align columns right (text ends on X). |
|
2-3 |
0 |
Align bottom row (text is above Y). |
|
|
4 |
Align center row (text is centered on Y). |
|
|
8 |
Align top row (text is below Y). |
|
7 |
128 |
Place text proportionally (characters may differ in width). |
Text can be rotated using the rotation argument. The rotation amount is given in radians. The scale values can be used to increase the size of the plotted text in both directions (on scale given); or to modify the text independently in each direction (both arguments given, the first being the width scale and the second being the height scale). Scale values are given in the range of .05 to 200 (approximately). It is not possible to fill text.
