## textdetails

Version 2.32

Manual page for textdetails(PL)

Virtually every ploticus attribute that produces text has an accompanying textdetails specification for controlling appearance details such as point size, color, etc.`` Text capabilities vary depending on what output format you're producing. See fonts for more information.``

## Examples

Prefab example: `titledet="size=12 adjust=0,0.2"`
Script example: `titledetails: size=12 adjust=0,0.2`

Note that settings are separated from each other by space, but settings themselves contain no embedded whitespace. Also, the entire specification must be on one line.``
