NAME

       gset_text_path (Set text path) - sets the text paths or directions in which text is to be drawn.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ncarg/gks.h>

       void gset_text_path(Gtext_path text_path);

DESCRIPTION

       text_path  (Input) Gives the direction in which a character string is to be drawn.  Options are:

                  GPATH_RIGHT
                     Draw  successive  characters  in the string such that character n+l appears to the right of
                     character n. This is text path "right" and is the default.

                  GPATH_LEFT
                     Draw character n+1 to the left of character n.  This is text path "left".

                  GPATH_UP
                     Draw character n+1 above character n.  This is text path "up".

                  GPATH_DOWN
                     Draw character n+1 below character n.  This is text path "down".

                  The right, left, up, and down directions are relative to the character up  vector.  The  right
                  text  path direction is perpendicular to the up vector direction.  Thus, to draw a text string
                  at a 45 degree angle the character up vector would be (-1,1), and the text path would be right
                  .
