	Characters and	various graphics (circles, circular		arcs, sectors, polylines,

Polyline Polygon Rectangle

*A continuous straight line with up to 256 points can be drawn.

*A polygon with up to 255 vertices can be drawn.

Marks are graphics comprising 16 by 16 dots that can be used as characters. They can be used as custom characters within character strings.

Image data are graphics comprising any required area of dots. They are regis- tered in advance and as many as required can be displayed at any position on the screen.

Windows bit map (BMP) data can be used for images.

There is a two-color mode, in which the display color and background color of the image are specified when it is registered in a screen, and an eight-color mode in which colors are assigned to the image in advance.

Since image data is composed of dots, it requires a large data size but offers great powers of expression.

Library data are combinations of fixed display graphics registered as a single graphic. They are registered in advance and as many as required can be dis- played at any position on the screen.

Since it is generated by combining graphics, library data has a small data size.
