FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

n/d

Specifies the reference scale factor. Each parameter, n and d, must be an integer in the range of 1 to 8 to allow a reference scale factor in the range of 1/8 to 8. The reference scale factor is multiplied by that specified at the time the graphic was digitized, and the product is rounded to the nearest integer in the range of 1 to 8. That integer becomes the effective scale factor with which the graphic is imaged.

Default		If no unit is specified, grid unit dimensions are used as the
		default.
Example		GRAPHIC AFJ AT 10, 12;
Sample .FSL		A GRAPHIC command is illustrated in figure 2-6.

Considerations		Up to 16 images per page are permitted. The Raster Image
		Processor (RIP), Interpress, and graphics capability (GVG2),
		enable the printing of more than 16 images per page as well as
		vector graphics.
			SECTION

		When a form consists of several identical sections, you can save
		time by defining only one section and treating it as a module,
		that is, having it repeated at desired locations.
Syntax		BEGIN SECTION id;
		or
		DO SECTION id AT y unit x unit;
		END SECTION;
Parameter options		id
		An identifier (one to six characters) that is invoked when a
		section is to be defined.

y

Coordinate of the origin on the y axis of the section in relation to the origin of the form.

unit

Unit of linear measurement, expressed as inches (IN), centimeters (CM), or DOTS. If units are not specified, the measurement is in grid units.
