Plotting a Bit Image Pattern

You can produce a a bit image pattern in four steps:

1.Lay out the graphic(s) pattern you want to print, on a quadrille pad or graph paper.

2.Determine the decimal equivalent of each bit image data byte required to produce your pattern (Figure 5–3).

3.Write a program to generate the complete pattern.

4.Enter and run the program on the host computer.
