        /DATA use data coordinates (default).
        /DEVICE use device coordinates.
        /NORM use normalized coordinates.
        BOLD=N Text is replotted N X N times,
          shifting by P pixel in x or y each time.
          Default N=2. For hardcopy try about 5.
          BOLD may also be set to an N x M array which defines
          a brush stroke by non-zero elements. For example:
          BOLD=shift(dist(3),-2,-2) lt 1.2
        PIXELS=P number of pixels to use for each shift (def=1).
          For hardcopy try 5 or 10.
        SHIFT=shft 2 element array giving pixel shift for each
          value of bold and color (def=0). Good for drop shadows.
