Introduction to Dot Graphics

The dot graphics mode allows your FX-286 to produce pictures, graphs, charts, or almost any other pictorial material you can devise. Instead of using the standard letters and numbers, the graphics mode prints dots column by column and line by line. You plan where you want the dots to appear and then use a program to tell the FX-286 where to put them.

Because many software programs use dot graphics, you may be able to print pictures and graphs like the ones on this page and the next by simply giving your software a few instructions. A graph like the one on the next page can be created and printed in a short time.
