DESCRIPTION

charstr draws a string of text (str) using a raster font.  The current character position is the position of the first character in the string.  After each character is drawn, the character’s spacing parameter updates the current character position.  The text string is drawn in the currently selected raster font and color, using the current writemask.  The system ignores characters that are not defined in the current raster font. 

In FORTRAN, str is the name of the text string and length is the number of characters in that string.
