Description:
Adds text to the database. The text
placement point must be entered in any
case.
The angle of the baseline can be
optionally specified. The default baseline angle is 0.
The text can be justified horizontally at the left, center
and right position and vertically at the baseline,
bottom, top and center position. The default
horizontal justification is left, the default vertical
justification is baseline.
The text consists of a sequence of Unicode characters. Since the character
set to be entered by a keyboard is finite the backslash '\' is used to
indicate that the characters following it should be treated specially. For
instance, the character '\' must be entered as \\ and qotation
marks are to be described by \". Line breaks are described by
\n (new line).
Any character can be specified by its Unicode in the form '\u' followed by
a 4 digit hexadecimal number. A complete Unicode character table can be
found here. Examples are
\u03c0:
Greek small letter Pi
\u00d8:
Latin capital letter O with Stroke
\u00a9:
Copyright sign
\u00ae:
Registered sign
The text can be enclosed in qotation marks. If, however, the text contains
white space then the whole text must be enclosed in qotation marks
like in "Text with white space". The reason is that CADEMIA would otherwise
interpret the text as separate arguments.
The text rendering is dependent on the drawing scale. Since the text size is
specified in paper units it is scaled by the drawing scale while editing
(which is always done in the scale 1:1).
