Metrics

Height sets the height of a capital letter. The default text height is 0.2 units high. To change, type a new value in units or in feet-and-inches (for text 1/2 unit high, type .5 or 1/2).

Angle sets the angle (any angle) at which text may be drawn. Positive angles are measured counterclockwise. For best results, use angles between -90° and 90°. The default angle is 0 degrees horizontal. To change, type a positive or negative angle.

Spacing sets the baseline of new text entities. The default spacing of each new text entity is specified at 150% of its height below the last text. (If the new text is 1 inch high, it's base line is 1+1/2 inches below the old text, making the lines 1/2 inch apart.) To change, type a different value.

Stretch sets the proportion of the text entity. The default stretch is 1 unit. A value of 2 would produce text that is twice as wide as normal. To change, type a different value.
