AT

x,y,z specify the center of the box. If z is specified then they are assumed to be data units. Instead of x,y,z you may specify CURSOR. If x,y,z are specified without FROM,TO, then AT is assumed.

FROM-TO

You may also specify the diagonally opposite corners of the box. If z is specified then they are assumed to be data units. Instead of x,y,z you may specify CURSOR.

FILL

Fills in the box using the current fill pattern. See:SET FILL

CURSOR

The cross hair cursor is used to specify the limits or center of the box. First move the cursor to a corner of the box. Press the space bar. Next move the cursor the diagonally opposite corner and press space again to draw the box. If you decide not to draw the box, press any other key other than space or "Return".

DATA

Specifies X,Y are in data coordinate frame. Normally they are in the TEXT coordinate frame. This option is not necessary if z or DSIZE are specified.

DSIZE

Specifies the size in data units. If the size is in data units the x,y are assumed to be data units also.

ROTATE

Specifies a rotation angle in degrees. Rotation is right handed or counterclockwise.

SIZE

Specifies the size in inches DX is the width of the box. If omitted the width is the default see:Command SET BOX SIZE. DY is the height of the box. If omitted DY=DX.

SQUARE

The option SQUARE or SYMMETRIC produces a square box. The SIZE is treated as a diagonal through the center of a square, and FROM, TO are treated as the coordinates of 2 opposite sides of a square.

SOLID...

Sets the texture of the line. See:Command SET TEXTURE.

INTENSITY

Sets the intensity (n=1-5)

WHITE...

Sets the color of the line.

TD:BOX FROM 3.25,2.5 size=6.5,5 Draws a centered box half the size of the screen assuming the default size of 13x10. TD:Set limits X -100,100 Y -100,100 TD:BOX 0,0 DATA size 1 Draws a box centered on the data 1 inch square TD:Set limits X -100,100 Y -100,100 TD:BOX 50,50 Dsize 100,100 Draws a box around the upper right quadrant of the data. TD:BOX AT CURSOR TO CURSOR Draws a box centered at the first cursor position with a corner at the second cursor. TD:BOX FROM CURSOR SIZE=2 Draws a box with the lower left corner at the cursor position 2 inches square.
