NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       CALL GSTXP (TXP)

C-BINDING SYNOPSIS

       #include <ncarg/gks.h>

       void gset_text_path(Gtext_path text_path);

DESCRIPTION

       TXP        (Integer,  Input)  -  Gives  the direction in which a character string is to be
                  drawn.  Options are:

                  0  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.

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

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

                  3  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 .
