Line Spacing and Intercharacter Spacing - 270o
If you print sideways text, then the vertical move that otherwise corresponded to a line feed now sets the distance from the leading edge of one character cell to the leading edge of the next character cell (as you read the characters). A good starting value for this move is the character cell width, which is 0.6 decipoints times the horizontal expansion factor.
Strings of sideways characters propagate
“line feeds” for you by inserting space between the trailing cell boundary of the previous character and the leading cell boundary of the next character. This space is 0.36 decipoints times the vertical expansion factor, which is generous line spacing.
If this line spacing is not satisfactory, then send sideways text one character at a time, preceded by a locating command for each character. If you use the resident line spacing for sideways lines, then you will probably use a character array to rotate text. In that case, remember to fill your array with space characters (20 hex) before you copy strings into it.
