GPAPT - Set Annotation Path

Purpose

Use GPAPT to insert a Set Annotation Path structure element into the open structure following the element pointer or to replace the element pointed at by the element pointer with a Set Annotation Path structure element depending on the current edit mode.

This structure element specifies the writing direction of characters in a text string relative to the Annotation Up vector. At structure traversal time, the graPHIGS API uses this path value to render all subsequent annotation text primitives.

The traversal default for annotation path is 1=RIGHT

If the workstation does not support the specified path value, then the annotation path value defaults to 1=RIGHT
