Text size
The
textsizestyle
is used to control the size of text, either by specifying a keyword
that corresponds to a particular size or by specifying a number representing a relative size.
The predefined keywords include
zero
,
miniscule
,
quarter tiny
,
third tiny
,
half tiny
,
tiny
,
vsmall
,
small
,
medsmall
,
medium
,
medlarge
,
large
,
vlarge
,
huge
,and
vhuge
.We
could also specify the sizes as a relative size, which is a multiple of the original size of the
text. See [

mlabel(stateab) mlabsize(small)
This example uses
mlabel(stateab)
to
add marker labels with the state
abbreviation labeling each point. We
use the
mlabsize(small)
(marker label
size) option to modify the size of the
marker labels to make the labels small.

mlabsize(*1.5)
In addition to using the keywords, we
can specify a relative size that is a
multiple of the normal size. Here, we
use the
mlabsize(*1.5)
option to
make the marker labels 1.5 times as
large as they would normally be.
