## set style textbox

Syntax:

            set style textbox {<boxstyle-index>}
                      {opaque|transparent} {fillcolor <color>}
                      {{no}border {linecolor <colorspec>}}{linewidth <lw>}
                      {margins <xmargin>,<ymargin>}

This command controls the appearance of labels with the attribute 'boxed'. Terminal types that do not support boxed text will ignore this style. Note: Implementation for some terminals (svg, latex) is incomplete. Most terminals cannot place a box correctly around rotated text.

Three numbered textbox styles can be defined. If no boxstyle index <bs> is given, the default (unnumbered) style is changed. Example:

         # default style has only a black border
         set style textbox transparent border lc "black"
         # style 2 (bs 2) has a light blue background with no border
         set style textbox 2 opaque fc "light-cyan" noborder
         set label 1 "I'm in a box" boxed
         set label 2 "I'm blue" boxed bs 2
