Set the position for the next text output. You may alternatively set the x
and y value separately by calling <span class="function"><a href="function.ps-set-value.html" class="function">ps_set_value()</a></span> and
choosing <em>textx</em> respectively <em>texty</em> as
the value name.

<p class="para">
If you want to output text at a certain position it is more convenient
to use <span class="function"><a href="function.ps-show-xy.html" class="function">ps_show_xy()</a></span> instead of setting the text position
and calling <span class="function"><a href="function.ps-show.html" class="function">ps_show()</a></span>.
