Figure 2-25.Current text position

Text before graphic window. Text after.

Note: You may want to use the Text Placement Absolute and Text Placement Relative commands (see ªAbout page formatting featuresª) for placing text on a page with a large number of graphics.

Graphic commands and the current graphic position

The current graphic position may be defined as the set of x- and y-coordinates for the last graphic image created on the page. These coordinates in either the Graphic Line or the Graphic Box command will update the current graphic position.

Copying graphic windows

Once you have defined a graphic window, it can be copied elsewhere on the page. Graphic windows are copied with the Graphic Window Repeat command.

A copied graphic window has exactly the same characteristics as the original. If it is a stored window, its contents may be magnified, reversed, or added to, but cannot be rotated.

After a graphic window has been defined and copied on the same page before being printed, any new data entered into the original window also appears in the duplicate window when the document is printed.

The coordinates you set in the Graphic Window Repeat command define the origin of the first copy, then the origins of any other copies of that window. You may set coordinates for multiple copies of a window with a single Graphic Window Repeat command. Each set of x- and y-coordinates in the command defines an origin for a copied window.
