8.18.2 \makebox

\makebox(width,height)[position]{...}

The \makebox command for the picture environment is similar to the normal \makebox command except that you must specify a width and height in multiples of \unitlength.

The optional argument, [position], specifies the quadrant that your text appears in. You may select up to two of the following:

t
Moves the item to the top of the rectangle.
b
Moves the item to the bottom.
l
Moves the item to the left.
r
Moves the item to the right.

See \makebox.
