7       is to be drawn.

DESCRIPTION

18       TXP        (Integer, Input) - Gives the direction in which a  character
19                  string is to be drawn.  Options are:
20
21                  0  Draw  successive characters in the string such that char‐
22                     acter n+l appears to the right of character  n.  This  is
23                     text path "right" and is the default.
24
25                  1  Draw  character  n+1 to the left of character n.  This is
26                     text path "left".
27
28                  2  Draw character n+1 above character n.  This is text  path
29                     "up".
30
31                  3  Draw  character n+1 below character n.  This is text path
32                     "down".
33
34                  The right, left, up, and down directions are relative to the
35                  character  up  vector. The right text path direction is per‐
36                  pendicular to the up vector direction.  Thus, to draw a text
37                  string at a 45 degree angle the character up vector would be
38                  (-1,1), and the text path would be right .
