^FT — Field Typeset: baseline positioning

Goal

Position text on a baseline with ^FT.

Description

^FT positions a field by its baseline origin — unlike ^FO's upper-left corner — and optionally justifies it. The origin does not move with rotation.

Example

^XA
^FT20,60^A0N,32,32^FDTypeset baseline^FS
^XZ

Result

The text sits on the y=60 baseline; descenders would dip below it.
