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>.
