DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN HHHHvvvveeeecccctttteeeexxxxtttt generates a Geomview/OOGL vector-text object, of given height or total length (default ----ssss ....22225555). It aligns the given 3-D point (default ----aaaatttt 0000 0000 0000) with the given corner of the text (default ----aaaalllliiiiggggnnnn cccc). Alignment specs are like geographic directions; ----aaaalllliiiiggggnnnn sssswwww puts the ``at'' point at the ``southwest'' corner of the text, so that its lower left corner is at that coordinate. The corresponding VECT object is written to standard output. If no non-blank text characters are given, hhhhvvvveeeecccctttteeeexxxxtttt produces a null geom object ("{ }") as output. The special option -------- marks the end of options; it's useful in case the text itself begins with a hyphen. HHHHvvvveeeecccctttteeeexxxxtttt accepts Ghostscript Hershey fonts; the built-in default is Hershey-Plain-Simplex a.k.a. hrpl_s.gsf. Others of interest: hrsy_r.gsf (Symbol), hrpl_t.gsf (Triplex). For a complete list, see all the Ghostscript font files of nontrivial size whose names begin with "hr". Although there's no way to switch fonts within the string, the first line of output from hvectext is an OOGL comment resembling: # Continue with: -align sw -plane xy -s 0.25 -at 1.24378 0 0 giving options for hvectext to continue the string where it left off.
