## DESCRIPTION

  A textdetails attribute controls details regarding the presentation of some text, including the size, style, alignment, and color. These details have defaults that will often be satisfactory; text details specifications may be used when it is desired to override the defaults.`` Virtually every text attribute in the ploticus system has an accompanying textdetails attribute.``

  Text capabilities vary depending on the output format. See fonts for more information.``

  A textdetails specification occupies one line in a script file and contains one or more sub-attribute settings.`` A sub-attribute setting has the form subattribute=value with no embedded spaces.`` Multiple sub-attribute settings on the line are separated by white-space.``
