Options

• :SEL_LIST specifies the text to modify. This can be used with the Select tool for multiple selection of text.
• :ABS_ANGLE specifies the angle at which the text is to be drawn, measured from the positive x-axis to the text baseline.
• :GET_ANGLE determines the new text angle by defining a line by two points. The angle of the line above the positive x-axis is used as the text angle.
• :SIZE sets the new text size (height).
• :ADJUST sets the new cursor adjust point for text:
  • 1 ... lower left
  • 2 ... lower center
  • 3 ... lower right
  • 4 ... middle left
  • 5 ... middle center
  • 6 ... middle right
  • 7 ... upper left
  • 8 ... upper center
  • 9 ... upper right
• :FRAME sets the new type of frame to be drawn around the text.
• :FILL sets filled (:ON) or unfilled (:OFF) text characters. This will only affect text fonts that can be filled.
• :RATIO sets the new width-to-height ratio of the text characters. The text height is determined by the :SIZE value.
• :SLANT sets the new slant angle of the text characters. A positive angle, measured from the vertical, slants characters to the right.
• :LINESP sets the new line spacing in blocks of text. The distance between the lines of text is determined by the :LINESP value multiplied by the :SIZE value.
• :FONT1B determines the new 1-Byte text font. Valid font names, entered within double quotes (" "), are those for fonts already loaded into Annotation.
• :FONT2B determines the new 2-Byte text font. Valid font names, entered within double quotes (" "), are those for fonts already loaded into Annotation.
• :COLOR sets the new text color. It automatically calls up the GET_RGB_COLOR_SA subaction. Use this subaction to specify the new RGB or HSL color.
