hvectext

HVECTEXT(1gv)															     HVECTEXT(1gv)

NAME

       hvectext - construct Geomview VECT text object from Hershey fonts

SYNOPSIS

       hvectext [-w totallength] [-s textheight] [-plane xy|xz|yz] [-at X Y Z] [-align n|s|e|w|ne|nw|se|sw|c] [-hershey fontfile.gsf] [--] text
	    string ...

DESCRIPTION

       Hvectext generates a Geomview/OOGL vector-text object, of given height or total length (default -s .25).  It aligns  the  given	3-D  point
       (default  -at 0 0 0)  with the given corner of the text (default -align c).  Alignment specs are like geographic directions; -align sw 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,  hvectext  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.

       Hvectext  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.

ENVIRONMENT

       GS_FONTPATH, if present, is a colon-separated list of directories in which Hershey font files are sought.

FILES

       perl (either version 4 or 5) must be installed.

       /usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts is searched if -hershey is given and GS_FONTPATH isn't set.
