D.2. Picture objectsTypeset example D.5: Picture: framingFRAME text✒Source for example D.5\setlength{\unitlength}{1pc}\begin{picture}(10,3)\put(0,0){\framebox(10,3){}}\thicklines\put(0.5,2){\frame{$\mathcal{FRAME}$ text}}\put(0.5,2){\vector(1,1){0}}\end{picture}\setlength{\unitlength}{1pt}The \shortstack command enables you to stack text vertically. It produces a box witha single column of text. As with the other boxes, the reference point is at the lower left handcorner, although no frame is drawn around the stack. The \shortstack command is anordinary box making command, but it is not often used outside picture mode.\shortstack[〈pos〉]{〈text〉}Each line of 〈text〉, except for the last, is ended by a \\ command. The default is to centereach text line within the column. However, there is an optional positioning argument. Avalue of l for 〈pos〉 will left align the text and a value of r will right align the text.Source for example D.6\setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}\begin{picture}(75,25)\put(0,0){\framebox(75,25){}}\put(3,3){\shortstack{Default \\ short \\ Stack}}\put(3,3){\vector(1,1){0}}\put(23,3){\shortstack[l]{Left\\aligned\\short\\Stack}}\put(23,3){\vector(1,1){0}}\put(43,3){\shortstack[r]{Right\\aligned\\short\\Stack}}\put(43,3){\vector(1,1){0}}415
