LaTeX2e help 1.6

#### 2.6.14.7: \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.
