XES COMMAND LANGUAGE MODE

Graphic Box

Purpose Draws a rectangle by defining two sets of right angles. Two coordinates define the diagonal corners. The printer then fills in the vertical and horizontal lines for the top, bottom, and sides.

Syntax EgbT;X1,Y1,X2,Y2L

gb Instruction to create a graphic box.

TLine thickness of the figure. The maximum value is 16 pixels. No error message is generated if a greater value is entered.

The width is distributed equally on the inside and outside of the box. The 4213 adjusts the width if it cannot be distributed equally.

;The semicolon is required. If it is omitted, the command is ignored. Commas separate the other variables.

X1,Y1The coordinates of the first of two points that make up diagonally opposite corners. X1 is the horizontal distance from the left edge of the graphic window. Y1 is the vertical distance from the top edge of the graphic window.

X2,Y2 The coordinates of the second of two points.

LLine end.

More If a value for X1 is omitted, the printer will use the x-coordinate from the current graphic position. If this box is the first graphic drawn in the window, the x-coordinate of the window origin is substituted as the x-value of the corner.

If a value for Y1 is omitted, the printer will use the y-coordinate from the current graphic position. If this box is the first graphic drawn in the window, the y-coordinate of the window origin is substituted as the y-value of the corner.

Example To create the box in figure 2-30:

·Drawn with a line seven pixels thick

·The coordinates of one corner set at 75,225 in the graphic window
