FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

GRID command

Specifying grid unit size and form origin

The GRID command tells the system how far apart to space the horizontal and vertical grid lines. This command also specifies the location of the form origin with respect to the virtual page origin. All FDL commands create and place form elements (lines, boxes, and so forth) relative to the form origin.

The format of the GRID command is as follows:

Example:

GRID IS 1 INCH;

format-id

Name of a predefined format. The format may be one of the standard formats listed in table 2-1 or a user-defined format.

nNumber of inches, centimeters, dots, xdots, or cpi and lpi that specifies the size of a grid unit. Size in inches or centimeters represents the length of one side of a square grid unit. If n is omitted when dots or xdots is specified, 1 is assumed. If only one dots parameter is specified, the grid unit is the same number of dots in both the horizontal and vertical dimension.

yNumber of inches, centimeters, dots, or xdots that the form origin is offset downward from the top of the virtual page. The coordinate y=0 represents the top of the virtual page. If y is not specified, the top edge of the form is located at the top edge of the virtual page. If inches, centimeters, dots, or xdots are not specified in this parameter, inches are assumed.

xNumber of inches, centimeters, dots, or xdots that the form origin is offset to the right of the left edge of the virtual page. The coordinate x=0 represents the left edge of the virtual page. If x is not specified, the left edge of the form is located at the left edge of the virtual page. If inches, centimeters, dots, or xdots are not specified in this parameter, inches are assumed.

Inches and centimeters may have two decimal places. Dots and xdots must be expressed in integers only. The values n, y, and x must be positive numbers.

The GRID command specified in number of dots allows a greater flexibility than the more conventional methods of specifying the grid. For example, instead of being limited to two decimal places of accuracy when specifying inches or centimeters, the grid can be specified to the dot or xdot. This feature also eliminates any errors caused by rounding.
