SR, Relative Character Size

This command specifies the size of characters as a percentage of the distance between P1 and P2. Use SR to establish relative character size so that if the P1/P2 distance changes, the character size adjusts to occupy the same relative amount of space.

While the SR command is in effect (with or without parameters), changes in P1 and P2 affect the size of characters in the currently selected font.

z No Parameters— Defaults the relative character width to 0.75%

 

of the distance (P2X – P1X) and the height to 1.5% of the

 

distance (P2Y – P1Y).

 

z Width— Sets the character width to the specified percentage of

 

the distance between the X-coordinates of P1 and P2. A negative

 

width parameter mirrors labels in the right-to-left direction.

 

 

Note

Changing character size also changes the apparent stroke weight of

 

labels; the printer adjusts characters relative to changes in P1/P2. As

 

long as the aspect ratio remains the same with changes in P1/P2,

 

characters will have the same appearance relative to the new P1/P2

 

rectangle.

 

z Height— Sets the character height to the specified percentage of

 

 

the distance between the Y-coordinates of P1 and P2. A negative

 

height parameter mirrors labels in the top-to-bottom direction.
