SAMPLE FORM CREATION

Drawing lines

LINE commands are used to construct horizontal and vertical lines which, in turn, are used to construct boxes.

Drawing horizontal lines

Enter the horizontal line commands shown in figure C-4. You have the option of abbreviating the commands to the first three characters.

Figure C-4.HORIZONTAL LINE command

COMMENT *** DRAW HORIZONTAL LINES ***;

AT 7 DRAW 18 LINES FROM 0 TO 132 USING HAI AND REPEAT EVE 3;

AT 8 DRAW 18 LINES FROM 0 TO 24 USI HAI AND REPEAT EVE 3;

AT 9 DRAW 18 LINES FROM 0 TO 24 USING HAI AND REPEAT EVE 3;

Drawing vertical lines

Insert another COMMENT to indicate that vertical lines are to be coded next, then enter the vertical line commands shown in figure C-5.
