Chapter 2 Command Codes

Duplication, Vertical

Purpose Defines both the number of times elements are duplicated

vertically and the spacing between each duplication.

Mode CREATE

Format VDUP;

dup#; offset#

elements to be duplicated

VDUP;OFF

VDUP The Vertical Duplication command; enter VDUP.

dup#

Specifies number of times the entered form

element(s) will repeat vertically. Enter a value

ranging from 1 through 512.

offset#

Specifies the vertical offset to establish the vertical

spacing between each duplication of the form

element(s) specified in the body of the command.

Enter a value in terms of dot or character columns

based on the Scale command (page 83), or use the

CP.DP format (page 26). The offset is from starting

row to starting row.

VDUP;OFF Terminates the Vertical Duplication command;

enter VDUP;OFF. If not entered, the IGP expects

another form element to be defined for duplication.

A single VDUP command can define different types

of elements for duplication.

Example The following example is a vertical duplication of one horizontal

line. The line is duplicated three times. To illustrate positioning,

the starting row and column are indicated on the example but do

not necessarily reflect actual location on the page.

VDUP;3;2 (3 duplications with 2-char. row spacing)

HORZ (Command to be duplicated vertically)

1;52;15;65

STOP (Terminates the duplicated element command)

VDUP;OFF (Terminates the vertical duplication)
