<Chapter 11:  Setting the Text Defaults>
     Use the T-DEFAULTS menu to set the default properties that will apply
to subsequently inserted text. A separate menu, the G-DEFAULTS menu,
controls the default properties for graphic elements. (See Chapter
<[10]>.)

<Section 11.1:  Font>
     Use the T-DEFAULTS/FONT command to change the default font. It is a
multiple choice menu item. Both the current font number and the name of
that font are displayed in the menu. (To change the font file assignments,
use the SETUP/INSTALL menu <[12.5.1]>.)

<Section 11.2:  Justify>
     Use the T-DEFAULTS/JUSTIFY command to change the default text
justification. It is a multiple choice menu item. The choices are: LEFT
(text is flush to the left edge of the label box), RIGHT (flush to the
right edge), CENTERED (text is centered in its box), and EVEN (text is
flush with both left and right edges of its box). PEP accomplishes even
justification by dividing any extra space into equal increments and
microspacing the individual characters in the text string).

<Section 11.3:  Typesize>
     Use the T-DEFAULTS/TYPESIZE command to set the typesize for
subsequently inserted text. It is an XY input command. The values
determine a pair of stretch factors applied to characters in the current
font when text is inserted. The typesize values determine the maximum
possible width and depth of characters; no character is ever wider than
typesize X nor taller than typesize Y.

<Section 11.4:  Rotation>
     Use the T-DEFAULTS/ROTATION command to set the rotation for all
subsequently inserted text. Press the command letter to display a menu of
eight choices: 0, 90, 180, 270 (degrees clockwise), \, -, /, | (mirror
images).

<Section 11.5:  Color>
     Use the T-DEFAULTS/COLOR command to change the default text color.
Colors are numbered 0 through 9 and A through F. The current color number
and color name are displayed in the T-DEFAULTS menu. Press the command
letter to display a list of the available colors. Select a color from this
menu, and it becomes the current default text color. Subsequently inserted
text labels will have this color. A separate command (G-DEFAULTS/COLOR
<[10.3]>) controls the default color for graphic elements. You can also
change color within a text label by editing the label and using the ALT-F9
key <[14.2.5]>.

<Section 11.6:  Box>
     Text labels in PEP are always associated with a box width value. This
width, along with the text justification and the starting point,
determines the position of the text when it is drawn. For example, if the
justification mode is even-margins, the text is positioned by PEP so that
the first character is flush with the left edge and the last character
with the right edge of the label as determined by the starting point and
the width.

     The T-DEFAULTS/BOX command is a multiple choice command which
determines the box width mode of subsequently inserted text labels. There
are two modes: AUTO and FIXED. If the mode is AUTO, the box width of the
label is determined by the contents of the label; it changes whenever the
text is edited. If the mode is FIXED, the box width is initially set to
the default value specified in the T-DEFAULTS/WIDTH command described
below. The width of a FIXED mode label can be changed by using the
MODIFY/WIDTH command <[4.16]>.

<Section 11.7:  Width>
     Use the T-DEFAULTS/WIDTH command to specify the default label box
width. Note that the box width is relevant only if the box mode is FIXED.
If the mode is AUTO, setting the width has no effect on subsequently
inserted (see the BOX command above).

     To use the WIDTH command, first type the command letter. Then either
type in the label width, or use the cursor to determine the width as
follows: position the cross-hair cursor and press RETURN, then position
the vertical line cursor which appears and press RETURN again. The label
width is set to the horizontal distance between the two cursors.
Alternatively, you can press SPACE to convert the vertical line cursor to
a horizontal line. Then when you press RETURN, the label width is set to
the vertical distance between the two cursors.

<Section 11.8:  Leading>
     Use the T-DEFAULTS/LEADING command to set the amount of extra space
to be inserted between successive lines during text insertion and text
file import. This extra space is sometimes called leading. First type the
command letter. Then either type in the leading value, or use the cursor
as follows: position the cross-hair cursor and press RETURN, then position
the vertical line cursor which appears and press RETURN again. The leading
is set to the horizontal distance between the two cursors. Alternatively,
you can press SPACE to convert the vertical line cursor to a horizontal
line. Then when you press RETURN, the leading is set to the vertical
distance between the two cursors.

<Section 11.9:  Initialize>
        Use the T-DEFAULTS/INITIALIZE command to reset all text defaults
to their standard values:

  FONT      0
  JUSTIFY   LEFT
  TYPESIZE  35 X 35
  ROTATION  0
  COLOR     0
  BOX       AUTO
  WIDTH     300
  LEADING   0
