#!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   string #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the 
text to be displayed. If the parameter value is a string, 
that string is displayed. If the parameter value is a field, 
its "data" component must be TYPE_STRING. The data may be position 
or connection dependent: #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 
o position dependent: each string in the "data" component is displayed 
at its corresponding position. #!N #!I30 #!N o connection dependent: each 
string is displayed at the center of its corresponding connection element.

specifies the font used for displayed text. 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

#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the orientation of the vertical strokes 
of the font used for the displayed text. Note: For string 
data in a field, the orientation of baseline and text can 
specified by using "tangents" and "binormals" components. In that way, each 
string can be oriented individually. These components should have the same 
dependency as "data" The "tangents" component corresponds to  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   direction #!EF 
and "binormals" to  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   up #!EF . #!N #!N The parameter 
specifications will override those of the field components. #!I0 #!N #!N
