FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

cs

The coordinate of the start of the line, measured on the x or y axis, depending on the direction of the line.

ce

The coordinate of the end of the line, measured on the x or y axis, depending on the direction of the line.

 

type

 

 

 

SOLID

An unbroken, straight line.

 

BROKEN

The line is divided into many equal sections,

 

 

separated by small amounts of space.

 

DOTTED

The line consists of dots of equal size and spaced

 

 

equally apart.

 

thickness

 

 

 

0

2

 

 

 

repeat direction

 

HORIZONTALLY or VERTICALLY.

 

ca

 

 

 

Absolute x or y coordinate at which to start repetitive lines in

 

a horizontal or vertical direction. Multiple ca parameters can

 

be specified. Whether ca is measured on the y or x axis

 

depends on the horizontal or vertical direction of the line.

 

ci

 

 

 

An incremental number representing the grid units or linear

 

units between repeated lines.

Default

The system defaults for direction and type of line are horizontal

 

and solid. The default option of REPEAT is used to repeat a

 

horizontal line vertically and a vertical line horizontally to produce

 

parallel lines. The default number of lines to be drawn is 1.

Example

AT 3 DRAW LINE FROM 4 TO 10;

Reference

Refer to the ªCommand examplesº appendix for examples and

 

illustrations about drawing lines.

BOX

 

Describes the size and shape of a square or rectangular box. The

 

BOX command is similar to the LINE command. Like lines, boxes

 

may be repeated either at fixed intervals or at specified locations.

 

The origin of a box is its upper left corner at the midpoint of the

 

outline thickness. The BOX command provides an option that

 

allows you to draw the outline of a box (frame) and to fill in a

 

box with shading.

Syntax

REPEAT direction AT ca unit ca unit ... EVERY ci unit;

Parameter options

y

 

Coordinate on the y axis of the upper left corner of the box.

 

x

 

Coordinate on the x axis of the upper left corner of the box.
