position Function (For GPL Guides)

Note: If you are specifying a position for a graphic element, refer to position Function (For GPL Graphic Elements) .

Syntax

position(<x coordinate>, <y coordinate>)

<coordinate>. A numeric value or an asterisk (*) indicating the position of the line in relation to a particular axis. The asterisk is a wildcard character that represents all values on the associated axis. For example, *,10 indicates a line at all x-axis values and at 10 on the y axis. In other words, these coordinates specify a horizontal reference line at 10.
