BORDERS

The BORDERS keyword specifies internal borders of symbols with depictions, so that you can display text when a depiction is presented for a symbol: the borders create an internal rectangle in which text can be displayed. You specify the internal border of the symbol’s depiction as percentages of the symbol’s width and height.

Syntax

DEPICTIONS
{ DIAGRAM [RETAIN STYLE] filename
BORDERS { left, top, right, bottom }
MENU filename
}

Example

The following code specifies that:

•a gap of 12% of the symbol’s width should be left clear on the left edge of the symbol

•a gap of 15% of the symbol’s height should be left clear on the top edge of the symbol

•no gap should be left clear on the right edge of the symbol

•no gap should be left clear on the bottom edge of the symbol.
