Figure 23-13Labeling with a Vertical Text Path
The following example produces lettering along a line (but not directly
on top of it), and aligns labels along a left margin. Movement of the
Carriage Return point is demonstrated, as well as different methods
of placing the text. The text is placed using the CP command with
parameters, then with a Carriage Return-Line Feed (CR-LF)
combination, and using a CP command without parameters to
emulate a CR-LF.
