RTXT — print Right-aligned TeXT
Format
RTXT[’string’][,option][,U-option];
Parameters
string:
any character string
option:
B = Leave cursor at back end of string
E = Move cursor to front end of string
L = Move cursor down one line
N = Move cursor to beginning of next line
U-option:
Underline text
Function
The RTXT command prints the given string, ending at the cursor location, then moves
the cursor as designated by the option. It accepts either a bitmap font or a scalable font to
print the string.
The string must be enclosed in either single or double quotation marks. (If the string
includes one kind of quotation mark, use the other kind to enclose it.) If the string is
omitted, nothing is printed. If the option is omitted, the cursor is not moved (same as
option B). If the U-option is specified, the string is underlined. The underline thickness
and location can be set by the SULP command.
The RTXT command can be used to position a line of text so that it ends at an exact
location. The RTXT command should be executed between left and right margins.
The length of the string is unlimited, except that the command as a whole may not be
longer than 255 characters. Carriage-return and linefeed codes in the string are ignored.
The RTXT command can be used both in the standard mode and path mode graphics.
