Synopsis:
\makebox(rec-width,rec-height){text} \makebox(rec-width,rec-height)[position]{text}
Make a box to hold text. This command fits with the picture
environment, although you can use it outside of there, because rec-width and rec-height are numbers specifying distances in terms of the \unitlength
(see picture). This command is similar to the normal \makebox
command (see \mbox & \makebox) except here that you must specify the width and height. This command is fragile (see \protect).
This makes a box of length 3.5 times \unitlength
and height 4 times \unitlength
.
\put(1,2){\makebox(3.5,4){...}}
The optional argument position
specifies where in the box the text appears. The default is to center it, both horizontally and vertically. To place it somewhere else, use a string with one or two of these letters.
t
Puts text the top of the box.
b
Put text at the bottom.
l
Put text on the left.
r
Put text on the right.
