10.2.2.4         Draw a Pushbutton

Optionally, first draw Text that will be the label for the pushbutton. For example "ALARM SUMMARY". See DRAW Text example above to refresh your memory.

If you draw the text label first, you can use the "Group Objects" feature to draw a perfectly positioned button.  Also, if grouped, you can edit the text and the burton will automatically resize to fit the new text.

You can draw the text later and place it on top of the button.
