FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

 

 

n

Index number of the font to be used. If omitted, the system uses the

 

 

 

last font index specified in a TEXT command. If the font was omitted

 

 

 

in all previous TEXT commands, the system uses the first font

 

 

 

specified in the FONT command.

 

 

y

Coordinate on the y axis where the text origin is to be located.

 

 

x

Coordinate on the x axis where the text origin is to be located.

 

 

text

Text characters that are to be printed at the specified location.

 

 

 

Multiple text strings can be specified by enclosing each text string in

 

 

 

single quotation marks. Separate each text string with one or more

 

 

 

spaces. (A string is a series of characters.) Each string is printed as

 

 

 

one physical line of text. Text strings enclosed by single quotes (such

 

 

 

as ’abcde’) can be broken and continued onto the next input record;

 

 

 

the FDL compiler skips all embedded spaces until it finds the first

 

 

 

character of the next record.

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

TEXT AT 5, 1 ’FIRST’ ’NATIONAL’ ’TRUST’;

 

TEXT command defaults

If orientation and alignment are not specified, the defaults are

 

 

 

HORIZONTAL and CENTER.

 

 

Text line origins

The origin of a single line of text is the upper left corner of the first

 

 

 

character cell when the line appears upright to the viewer. The origin

 

 

 

of multiple lines of text is the upper edge of the topmost character cell

 

 

 

and leftmost edge of the leftmost character cell when viewed in an

 

 

 

upright position.
