Text Panel Widget.
Invoked from Edit
in Menubar or ALT-t.
Uses Motif Widgets (
Choice,
Toggle,
Scale,
Push
) to
adjust properties of groups of string in your
model.texts list.
Currently, all groups are read in as ascii
*.sph (!) files.
(See Data Preparation).

Hints:
You may have to break up one file of strings into several
if you can't get a good translational adjustment for the entire group.
The string begins at the xyz position of the sphere.
You may edit each *.sph record to customize the format.
Any text (including blanks) following the color index integer is displayed.
There is currently a very limited choice of font sizes.
If the figure is for publication, make font as large as possible
and only use about 2/3 full screen image for best results.

on Control Panels.
