<H3>Summary:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
The <B>label</B> command places a label on the layout. The label
|
|
is marked by a point, line, or rectangle, depending on the size
|
|
of the cursor box. If the area under the cursor box contains
|
|
exactly one type, the label will be "attached" to that type; that
|
|
is, the label will name the network of the node containing that
|
|
type. If the area under the cursor box contains multiple layers,
|
|
one will be chosen for attachment to the label. If there are
|
|
multiple network nodes under the cursor box, the result may not
|
|
be what the user intended; in such cases, the user should specify
|
|
which <I>layer</I> the label should be attached to, so that the
|
|
appropriate network node will be labeled. <P>
|
|
|
|
The label text is placed to one side of the marker in the
|
|
direction indicated by the <I>position</I> argument. For
|
|
example, "<B>label text north</B>" will draw the label string
|
|
"<TT>text</TT>" to the north (above) the marker. <P>
|
|
|
|
Labels cannot be directly modified; modifications should be
|
|
handled by first erasing the label with "<B>erase label</B>"
|
|
and then redrawing.
