4.4Printing Lines and Boxes

Lines and boxes can be created by requesting font “X”. The horizontal and vertical multipliers, and row/column position work with the line and box routines in the same manner as human-readable fonts. The format of the data area is as follows:

LINES: Lhhhvvv

L = “L” specifies line drawing

hhh= horizontal width of line vvv = vertical height of line

LINES: lhhhhvvvv

1 = “1” specifies line drawing

hhhh= horizontal width of line vvvv = vertical height of line

BOXES: Bhhhvvvbbbsss

B = “B” specifies box drawing

hhh= horizontal width of box vvv = vertical height of box

bbb = thickness of bottom and top box edges sss = thickness of sides of box

BOXES: bhhhhvvvvbbbbssss

b = “b” specifies box drawing

hhhh= horizontal width of box vvvv = vertical height of box

bbbb = thickness of bottom and top box edges ssss = thickness of sides of box
