Remember that you can print these characters in different pitches and weights. For example, if you want to see them in Pica, delete line 10 from your program to produce the result below.

You probably can think of many uses for the graphics characters that represent objects and symbols. The program below gives you an idea of how the line graphics characters (shown in the first row above), can be combined to create artworks or business forms. Type in the following lines but do not run the program yet:

10 LPRINT CHR$(27)"A"CHR$(7)CHR$(27)"E"CHR$(27)"W1" 20 READ R

30 IF R>0 THEN LPRINT CHR$(R);: GOTO 20

40 IF R=0 THEN LPRINT: LPRINT CHR$(27)"@": END

50 IF R=-1 THEN LPRINT: GOT0 20

60 N=-R: READ R: FOR K=1 TO N: LPRINT CHR$(R);

70 NEXT K: GOT0 20

Line 10 turns on Emphasized and Expanded Modes as well as special line spacing (discussed later in this chapter). The next six lines print graphics characters using DATA from the lines to be added in the next stage of the program.

Add these DATA lines to produce a four-part box with graphics characters in each part:

80 DATA 135,-6,133,130,-6,133,136,-1

90 DATA 134,-6,32,134,32,154,32,,154,32,154,134,-1

100 DATA 134,144,143,144,143,144,143,134,-6,32,134,-1

110 DATA 132,-6,133,128,-6,133,131,-1
