FORMS LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

Using boxes

You may draw boxes with a single BOX command or construct them with commands on a line-by-line basis.

Note: Using the BOX command can have a negative aspect when a single command is used to specify a box that is adjoined to another box by a single side. When two BOX commands are issued in this manner, one line of a box is superimposed over another along the adjoined side. Since two lines are drawn between the same pair of coordinates, a line density problem may occur.

When to use the BOX command To avoid this situation, use the BOX command only for the following conditions when designing a form:

When the box is fully isolated from any other lines

When the line type of a box is different from any other lines that share its boundaries (for example, a SOLID 2 box sharing a small portion of a SOLID 1 edge, as shown in figure 5-4).

A SOLID 2 box sharing a small portion of a SOLID 1 edge is shown in figure 5-4.

Text in boxes

When text is entered for placement within a box, the system attempts to determine whether the given text exceeds the largest font size that can fit within the boundaries of the box. If FDL computations indicate that the entered text may not fit within the box, the following error message is displayed:

TEXT WILL NOT FIT IN THE BOX

The system checks both the horizontal and vertical directions of the box. If an error is detected in either or both directions, an attempt is made to indicate an approximate value for the largest font.
