PSLABEL - output PostScript file
consisting of a single TEXT string
on a specified background. (Use with psmerge to label
plots.)
pslabel t= [t=]
[optional parameters] > epsfile
Required
Parameters (can have multiple specifications to mix fonts):
t= text string to
write to output
Optional
Parameters:
f=Times-Bold font for text string
(multiple specifications
for each t)
size=30 size of characters in points (72 points/inch)
tcolor=black color of text
string
bcolor=white color of background box
nsub=0 number of characters to subtract when
computing size of background box (not all
characters are the same size so the
background box may be too big at times.)
Example:
pslabel t="(a) " f=Times-Bold
t="h" f=Symbol t="=0.04" nsub=3 > epsfile
This example yields the PostScript equivalent
of the string
(written here in LaTeX notation) $ (a)\\;
\\eta=0.04 $
Notes:
This program produces a (color if desired)
PostScript text string that
can be
positioned and pasted on a PostScript plot using psmerge
see selfdoc of psmerge for
further information.
