Claudia, For GPANOT based on the current version 5.7.2 for input to INFO I have: INFO = SIZE/FONT/WIDTH/BORDER/RELROTATION/JUSTIFICATION/HW-SW/JUSTIFICATION/ANGLE/TEXT eg info = 3/21/3/1/S//sw/C/0/Autumn The confusion I believe is created by the reuse of JUSTIFICATION. The first instance of JUSTIFICATION (eg the sixth field) is specified for GEMLIB data plotting, but not the string plotting which requires the eith field. From looking at the program, the first 7 fields are parsed just as "phelp text" will. The fields 8 through 10 are introduced in the gpanot program, so it is important that you have all the fields and use empty '//' fields where necessary to maintain the number of fields..
