LABEL JUSTIFICATION

...LABEL JUSTIFICATION

Plot Control Command

Specifies the justification of the labels to appear on subsequent plots.

The labels are the text which appear below the bottom horizontal frame line and outside of the vertical frame lines. They typically define the variables/axes which are being plotted.

For most applications, the default justifications are desired (i.e., labels are centered about the appropriate axis). However, there are a few cases where an alternate justification is desirable. The most common case is for the multiplot commands SCATTER PLOT MATRIX, FACTOR PLOT, and CONDITION PLOT.

The label justification hold for all subsequent plots until defaulted (via the ...LABEL JUSTIFICIATION command with no arguments) or until overridden with new label offsets. The analyst can define offsets for all 5 plot labels:

1. 3 below the bottom horizontal frame;
2. 1 to the left of the left vertical frame;
3. 1 to the right of the right vertical frame line.

The label is specified by the prefix in the command.

<prefix>LABEL JUSTIFICATION <value>
where <value> is a string that specifies the justification;
and <prefix> is one of the following:

X1 refers to the first horizontal label
X2 refers to the second horizontal label
X3 refers to the third horizontal label
X refers to the first horizontal label
Y1 refers to the left vertical label
Y2 refers to the right vertical label
Y refers to the left and right vertical labels
no prefix refers to all 5 axis labels.


The following justifications are allowed:

LEFT	= left horizontally, bottom vertically
CENTER	= center horizontally, bottom vertically
RIGHT	= right horizontally, bottom vertically
LECE	= left horizontally, center vertically
CECE	= center horizontally, center vertically
RICE	= right horizontally, center vertically
LETO	= left horizontally, top vertically
CETO	= center horizontally, top vertically
RITO	= right horizontally, top vertically

X1LABEL JUSTIFICATION LEFT
X2LABEL JUSTIFICATION RIGHT

A ...LABEL JUSTIFICATION command with no arguments reverts the justification to default. Thus X1LABEL JUSTIFICATION with no arguments reverts the first horizontal axis label to default. A ...LABEL JUSTIFICATION command with no prefix refers to all 5 labels. Thus LABEL JUSTIFICATION CENTER assigns the justification left to all 5 labels. LABEL JUSTIFICATION with no prefix and no arguments reverts all 5 labels to default.

The default justifications are all CECE.

LJUS and LEBO for LEFT.
CJUS and CEBO for CENTER.
RJUS and RIBO for RIGHT.

LABEL	= Specifies the labels for the plot axes.
LABEL AUTOMATIC	= Sets automatically generated labels.
LABEL CASE	= Sets the case (upper/lower) for labels.
LABEL COLOR	= Sets the color for plot labels.
LABEL DISPLACEMENT	= Sets the distance from the frame to the label.
LABEL FONT	= Sets the plot label fonts.
LABEL SIZE	= Sets the size (height) for plot labels.
LABEL THICKNESS	= Sets the line thickness for plot labels.

Control labels for multiplot commands (SCATTER PLOT MATRIX, FACTOR PLOT, CONDITION PLOT).
