To define a text-only net element, type:

Sometimes you will want to group a number of elements together under a net heading, but will not want to see any figures printed for that row. This usually happens when you have a group of miscellaneous comments which you want to list at the end of the table.

There are two ways of dealing with this. The first is to write a standard n03 with the text required; the second is to use an ntt statement as follows:

For example:

This creates a text-only net heading at level n in which the text is indented by the number of spaces appropriate to that level. For example, with netsort (or netsort=2) an nnt1 is not indented, an ntt2 text is indented by 2 spaces, and an ntt3 text is indented by 4 spaces.

Although there are no figures associated with this element, any elements between this statement and a corresponding endnet option or netend statement is included in any nets at lower levels. Thus, elements following an ntt2 statement are included in the net created by the previous net1.

If the table is sorted, the elements in the ntt group are sorted although the group as a whole, including the ntt element will retain its original position in the axis. For an example of this, see Sorting with subsort and endsort.
