JUSTIFICATION/ORIGIN. Text strings can be automatically right or left justified, or
centered about a specified point. An ASCII character 1 through 9 indicates the origin
(justification and base line) for characters with respect to the current pen position. This
function is useful when drawing labels. (Refer to the Label command.)

If text is left justified, the current pen position is the left margin. Center causes the label to be
centered on the pen position. Rightjustify selects the pen position as the right margin. Bottom,

The numbers 1-9 represent the cursor position with respect
to the character cell used for graphics text characters.

For example, if text was to be right justified and set with a base line on top of the normal
character position, the number "9" would be used. Figure D-17 illustrates the various text
positions.
