LINE

Specifies that one or more lines are to be drawn in the same direction. A LINE command defines the following:

·Point at which the line begins

·Direction of the line

·Length of the line

·Type of line

·Thickness of the line

·Number of times the same line is to be drawn, either from different origins or at specified intervals from the initial origin.

Syntax	AT co unit DRAW n direction LINES IN unit FROM cs unit
	TO ce unit USING type thickness AND REPEAT repeat
	direction AT ca unit ca unit ... EVERY ci unit;
Parameter options	co

The number representing the displacement from the form origin of the first or only point of origin, expressed in grid units or linear units. The remainder of the line command specifies the length and characteristics of a line to be drawn at this location.

If a horizontal line is to be drawn, the co displacement is measured on the y axis. If a vertical line is to be drawn, the co displacement is measured on the x axis. For example, if co is 6, a horizontal line is drawn under the sixth character row.

n

Number of lines to be drawn.

unit

Unit of linear measurement, expressed as inches (IN), centimeters (CM), or DOTS. If a linear unit is specified following IN, the co parameter is assumed to be in the same units, unless specified after co. If units are not specified, the measurement is in grid units.

direction

HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.
