Call: PLOT_TEXT


font

The font can be any of the text representations that are currently defined. These include representations that are reserved for elements of graphs (such as TITLE).

For convenience, a few text representations are been provided that are not used by the program and that can therefore be modified at will. These include some commonly used fonts: Times Roman (TIMES-ROMAN) and Prestige Elite (PRESTIGE), but also Greek characters (GREEK), gothic characters (GOTHIC) and the italics for most of these (e.g. GOTHIC-ITALIC). The precise choice of these fonts depends on the graphics system you are using.

The font should be specified with a variable of the type String.

[By default, the current text representation is used.]


alignment

The alignment determines which point of the text string has to be placed at the coordinate (x,y). The alignment should be specified as a String in the format `h-v` where h is one of the horizontal and v one of the vertical alignments.

[By default, the alignment is assumed to be `NORMAL-NORMAL`.]


orientation

Text is normally plotted horizontally, but you can ask to have the text plotted at an angle by giving this optional argument.

The orientation is a Number and should be specified in degrees.

[By default: 0 degrees.]
