CENTER Command Use the CENTER command to enter lines of text. This command centers the text
within the line length, according to the value specified in the OUTLEN command. The

The syntax of the CENTER command is:

ON
specifies that all lines between this command and the next CENTER OFF

this number, only text lines.
B
specifies that all lines until the next blank line or until the next trigger character,
either alone or as part of another TGAL command, are to be centered.
trigger
specifies that all lines until the next trigger character, either alone or as part of
another TGAL command, are to be centered.

If you do not use this command, TGAL assumes:
