Underlining titles
Quick reference
To underline a title, type:
ttxtitle_text;unlnumber
where number is 1 to underline the complete text, 2 to underline everything except blank strings, or 3 to underline non-blank characters only.
More information
To underline titles, add unl to the end of the tt lines to be underlined. Separate unl from the rest of the text by a semicolon to stop it being printed as part of the title; follow it with a number indicating the type of underlining required:
unl1
Underlines the whole line up to the last non-blank character.
unl2
As unl1, except that blank strings are not underlined.
unl3
Underlines non-blank characters only.
Examples
The unl1 statement:
ttlunderline all this;unl1
produces
underline all this
The unl2 statement:
ttldon't underline blank strings;unl2
produces
don't underline blank strings
The unl3 statement:
ttlunderline non-blanks only;unl3
produces
underline non-blanks only
Quantum uses the underscore (_) character for underlining. The underscore prints lower on the line than most other characters so if a line contains instructions to print a character and an underscore in the same position, the underscore appears to underline the other character. Because of this, Quantum does not let you define a different underline character. To get double underlining, you must insert it as an extra text line in your titles or axes.
