-Note

Use the -Note command to create text blocks.

It is the command window variant of the Note command.

Notes are formatted text blocks, not singleline text.

To create notes:

1. Type -Note at the command prompt.
2. In the graphics area, specify the first corner of the text box.
3. Specify the opposite corner of the text box or specify an option:
   • Angle. Specifies the insertion angle of the Note.
   • Height. Specifies the text height used within Note.
   • Justify. Specifies the text justification within the Note text box (for example, TL for top left alignment). (Vertical alignment: T = top, M = middle, B = bottom; horizontal alignment: L = left, C = center, R = right).
   • Line spacing. Specifies line spacing used within the Note. Line spacing is the vertical distance between the baseline of a line of text to the baseline of the next line of text. Specify an option:
     • At least: Sets the minimum line spacing that is needed to fit the largest font on the line.
     • Exactly: Sets fixed line spacing distance or factor. To space all lines evenly within a paragraph, use exact spacing and specify an amount of space that is large enough to fit the largest character in the line.
   • TextStyle. Specifies the text style.
     1. Specify the ? option.
     2. Specify the * option to list all TextStyle names or enter the name of the TextStyle to use.
   • Width. Specifies the width of the text box.
4. Press Enter to exit specifying options.
5. Type a text line.
6. Press Enter to type a second line of text. You can enter any number of subsequent lines.
7. Press Enter twice to exit the command.

   The text displays in the graphics area.
