TEXTS=<list_of_text_specifications> 
gives a list of extra texts to be written in the current graph. Each
member of this list is a word (name of the text), and any such a text
is given in the form

   <name_of_the_text>=<string>,x,y

where (x,y) is the starting point of the text in plotting units and
<string> is a string without spaces and ','s to be written. Possible
spaces should be replaced by '_'s. Similarly ','s must be replaced by
';'s.  (';' and '_' are given as '\;' and '\_'.) 
Example: TEXTS=T1,T2 T1=[Times(15)],SURVO_84C,500,50 T2=9_May_1987,650,50
As in T1, a control code in brackets may precede the text.

If a text is to be plotted in parentheses or brackets, a control
code (in brackets or parentheses) must precede it:
Example: TEXTS=L1,Label2  L1=[Times(15)],(SURVO_84C),100,300
                          Label2=(),[4_Jan_1992],400,50
In Label2, () is a dummy control code. The texts to be plotted will
be    (SURVO 84C)   and   [4 Jan 1992]  .

New alternative: Text on multiple lines (see next page!)


Text on multiple lines:

Any of the text names, say TL, listed in the TEXTS specification,
can also refer to a set of several lines. In this case TL has the
form
   TL=#LINES:<first_line>,<last_line>,x,y,<line_spacing> 
where (x,y) is the starting point of the first line. The following
lines will be plotted below the first one by using the given
line spacing.
Example:
................................................................................
GPLOT Y(X)=A*sin(X)  / A=0,10,1 X=[line_width(5)][RED],-pi,pi,pi/20
MODE=EGA               pi=3.141592653589793 XSCALE=-pi,0,pi
TEXTS=T T=[Times(20)],#LINES:CUR+3,CUR+5,50,270,30
This is a family
of sinus curves
with different amplitudes.
