#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is the caption to be displayed. This 
parameter can also be a list of strings, for a multiline 
caption. Alternatively, you can separate substrings for a multiline caption by 
using \n. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   position #!EF #!EF #!I50 
#!N specifies the position of the caption in units determined by 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   flag #!EF (see below). #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   flag 
#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N determines the type of coordinates used in 
placing the caption: #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N

placed at  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   position #!EF : #!N #!N [0 0] = 
bottom left of the caption #!N [1 1] = top right 
#!N #!N If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   flag #!EF = 0, the default is 
the same as the current specification of  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   position #!EF . 
#!N #!N If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   flag #!EF = 1, the default is 
the lower left corner of the caption. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   alignment #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N determines the alignment of a 
multiline caption from left justified (0.0) to right justified (1.0). For 
intermediate values, justification is defined by linear interpolation (e.g., a value 
of 0.5 centers the lines). #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   height 
#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N determines the height of the caption characters 
in pixels. A negative value generates an inverted caption. #!N #!I0 
#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   font #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the font 
for a displayed caption. You can specify any of the defined 
fonts supplied with Data Explorer. These include a variable-width font ("variable," 
the default) and a fixed-width font ("fixed"): #!CForestGreen #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*

 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   direction #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N determines the orientation of 
the caption (i.e., the direction of its baseline). #!N #!I0 #!N 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   up #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N determines the direction of

#!N #!I0 #!N Notes: #!N #!I30 #!N 1. To change the 
color of a caption, use the Color module (see  #!Lcolor,dxall792 h Color  #!EL  ). 
#!N #!I30 #!N 2. If you are using Render or Display 
to render an object which contains a caption, when you change 
the resolution of the camera the size of the caption in 
pixels will not change. If you want the caption to take 
up the same proportion of the image, use the ScaleScreen module 
to change the size of the caption. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N
