.TEXT SET BX Z ORDER

This subroutine sets the Z order for the "current" Text Object .

Usage:

      PASS         <z_order>                  FIELD            SHARE? N
      GOSUB    0CD .TEXT SET BX Z ORDER
      *        Check for error
      IF       0CD .TEXT SET BX Z ORDER       NE

Description:

This subroutine sets the Z order for the "current" Text Object.

This only applies to custom objects, box objects generated by Chart Director, such as axes labels, data labels, etc., will have their z-order fixed by Chart Director. Note that in the initial release of the Chart Director API, you cannot add custom objects to a chart, so this subroutine does not do anything useful.

Chart Director will draw objects in ascending z-order. That means objects with larger z-order will be drawn later, and hence will be on the top of the chart.

If a parameter is not received or if the value received is blank, then the Z order of the text object is cleared and the default width will be rendered.
