DoTextPath(3D)

NAME
DoTextPath - Create a text path primitive attribute object

SYNOPSIS
C:
DtObject DoTextPath(textpath)
DtTextPath textpath;

FORTRAN:
INTEGER*4 DOTPA(TXPATH)
INTEGER*4 TXPATH

DESCRIPTION
DoTextPath creates a text path primitive attribute object. The parameter textpath specifies the drawing direction for subsequently executed text primitive objects. Possible values are:

DcTextPathRight <DCTPR>
    Each succeeding character is to the right of the previous character.

DcTextPathLeft <DCTPL>
    Each succeeding character is to the left of the previous character.

DcTextPathUp <DCTPU>
    Each succeeding character is above the previous character.

DcTextPathDown <DCTPD>
    Each succeeding character is below the previous character.

DoTextUpVector is used to alter the orientation of the characters themselves.

DEFAULTS
The default DoTextPath is DcTextPathRight <DCTPR>.
