Oversized Character Dimensions - 270o

The width of a character cell is 0.6 decipoints times the horizontal

expansion factor. Width means the dimension that is left-to-right as you read the character.

The height of a character cell is 1.08 decipoints times the vertical

expansion factor. Height means the dimension that is vertical as you read the character.

Figure 4-4Sideways Character Dimensions

The distance from the top of the character cell to the baseline is 0.76

decipoints times the vertical expansion factor. Top-of-cell means the upper boundary of the character cell as you read the character.

When printing strings of sideways characters, the printer adds horizontal space between character cells. This space is equal to 0.36 decipoints times the vertical expansion factor.

Vertical Position-Relative in Oversized

Normally, the origin of a vertical position-relative move is the current position. If the last object printed on the current line was an oversized character, however, then the origin of a vertical position-relative move is the top of that character cell, where top-of-cell means the character cell boundary that is uppermost on the paper. This is true whether or not you are still in oversized when the vertical position-relative command is sent.
