Now look at the high-speed double-density design in Figure 5-3. It should point you in the right direction for your own work.

Figure 5-3.

Arrow design

After plotting the dots on a grid, you calculate the numbers for each pin pattern by dividing the design grid into separate print lines. For the arrow design, the grid was divided into two lines, each seven dots high. Then each column was examined to calculate the graphics data. The results for the first line are shown in Figure 5-4. The pin values are on the left and the sums at the bottom of each column.
