LABEL SHAPE [Shape_name [Colour]]

            

FEMGEN Command only.

The command LABEL SHAPE allows the user to specify the shape name to which the labels will be applied as well as the colour to be used for the labels. The command word ALL may be used instead of a shape name if labels on all shapes are required and the command word CURRENT may be used if labels on all currently displayed shapes are required (this is the default).

To turn off shape labels the command LABEL SHAPE OFF should be used.

The label is positioned depending on the type of shape being labelled, as shown below :

PLANE At the origin of the plane.

CONE On the surface of the cone, halfway through the workbox.

CYLINDER On the surface of the cylinder, halfway through the workbox.
