{title:Description}

{pstd}
{cmd:set piccomments} sets whether PICT files use PICCOMMENTS for drawing true
rotated text.  The Quickdraw API does not have an option for drawing rotated
text (OS X's Quartz drawing engine, however, does).  Stata embeds PostScript
commands as PICCOMMENTS in graphs outputted in the PICT format to draw rotated
text, thus allowing graphs with rotated text to print on PostScript printers.

{pstd}
Many applications can import a PICT file with PICCOMMENTS and then display and
edit the rotated text.  When you are printing on non-PostScript printers or
displaying on the screen, a bitmap representation is used.

{pstd}
{cmd:set piccomments off} may be used for applications that do not understand
PICCOMMENTS and do not know to ignore them.  

{pstd}
The default value of {cmd:piccomments} is {cmd:on}.


{title:Option}

{phang}
{cmd:permanently} specifies that, in addition to making the change right now,
the {cmd:piccomments} setting be remembered and become the default setting
when you invoke Stata.
