Giovanni,
The program GPANOT has the capability of putting text at user defined locations
on a plot
with rotation:
INFO =
SIZE/FONT/WIDTH/BORDER/RELROTATION/JUSTIFICATION/HW-SW/JUSTIFICATION/ANGLE/TEXT
eg
shape = text
loci = .5;.5
info = 3/21/3/1/S//sw/C/90/test string
this will write the string "test string" at position .5;.5 screen relative,
90 degree ANGLE relative to the screen (RELROTATION is 'S').
Note that the first 7 fields match the "phelp text" settings, however
the documentation of INFO doen't mention that
the eighth ("text_string" portion can have 3 parts to it each separated by a
'/').
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. If
you only
have 8 fields, then the text string has no rotation ANGLE.
Use the "sw" font to be able to rotate the text. HW fonts cannot be rotated.
