Figure 9-4. Arrow design

After plotting all the dots as in Figure 9-4,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 three lines, each seven dots high. Then each column was examined and the sums of the pin values determined. This process for the first line is shown in Figure 9-5. The pin values are on the left side and the sums are at the bottom of each column.

Those of you who have read the previous chapter will see that designing graphics is much like designing user-defined characters.
