comments:

TextLine carries text referenced to positions with respect to a specified coordinate system. The description is based on the ANSI CGM model (X3.122). The coordinate for the origin of the rectangle containing the text is held by position. Note that all units are those of the (x,y,z) reference system. The RelativeEndPoints are the endpoints, relative to the origin of the text string, of two vectors which describe the horizontal and vertical orientation, respectively.
