DPST (Post Z string values)

The DPST command will post Z string buffer values. The Z buffer must contain strings, which requires that the strlen parameter in the DOPN command be defined.

Command Syntax

refp	Map reference point
dx,dy	Offset in map units from the X,Y plot point at which to post the value
just	Text justification
	-1	Left justify
	0	Center
	1	Right justify
	2	Center horizontally and vertically
angle	Angle at which to post the text. The angle is in degrees counter-clockwise from the positive X axis
dp	The number of decimal places to use for the Z value

	0	skip dummy values
	1	plot dummy values (Default)

Sub-Command Parameters:

att	Attribute
height	Character height in map units. (default 0.25cm)
width	Character width in map units. (default same as height)
space	Character spacing in map units. (default same as height)

Example

This opens file MAG.XYZ and selects the second Z column to be read into the Z buffer. The Z data will be read as a maximum 8-character text string. Only lines and tie lines less than or equal to 1000 will be read. The DXYZ command reads the first line of data and the SYMB command plots a '+' symbol at each data location. The DPST command posts the Z values 0.15cm right of the symbol, 0.1cm down and left justified. A new attribute named 'post' is defined and the posting text will be 0.2cm high.

This command is part of the MAPPLOT GX.
