ring(0) position(5) box
width(65) height(40)
))
We can make the area for the textbox
bigger using the
width()
and
height()
options. We change the value to make
the box approximately as tall as the
graph for the West and as wide as the
graph for the South.

))
We can left-justify the text and align it
with the top using the
justification(left)
and
alignment(top)
options. These
options make the title appear in the top
left corner of the empty hole.

Now that we have aligned the text as
we would like, we can take away the
box by omitting the
box
option.
