JUSTIFICATION/ORIGIN. Text strings can be automatically right or left justified, or
centered about a specified point. An ASCII character 1 through 9 indicates the origin
(justification and base line) for characters with respect to the current pen position. This
function is useful when drawing labels. (Refer to the Label command.)
