Description:

            SUBROUTINE GRCHAR (IDENT,CENTER,ORIENT,ABSXY,X0,Y0,STRING)
      
       GRPCKG: Draw a string of characters. The plot is not windowed
       in the current subarea, but in the full plotting area.
      
       Arguments:
      
       IDENT (input, integer): plot identifier, as returned by GROPEN.
       CENTER (input, logical): if .TRUE., the first character of the string
            is centered at (X0,Y0); otherwise the bottom left corner of the
            first character is placed at (X0,Y0).
       ORIENT (input, real): the angle in degrees that the string is to make
            with the horizontal, increasing anticlockwise.
       ABSXY (input, logical): if .TRUE., (X0,Y0) are absolute device
            coordinates; otherwise they are world coordinates (the scaling
            transformation is applied).
       X0, Y0 (input, real): position of first character (see CENTER).
       STRING (input, character): the string of ASCII characters; control
            characters 0-20 have special representations; all other
            non-graphic characters are plotted as blank spaces.
