HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

represents the origin in the horizontal direction (x±axis coordinate).

units indicates the unit of measure for specifying the line origin. The units are INCHES, CENTIMETERS, DOTS, and XDOTS. You can use two decimal places when you specify inches and centimeters. You must express DOTS and XDOTS in integers.

	DRAW is an optional reserved word.
	The number of lines you want drawn on your form is n.
	HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL specifies the direction of your lines.
	LINES specifies that this reserved word is required.
	IN units is a shorthand method of specifying units for the entire
	command. IN units overrides all other units used. For example,
	if you want to draw a line using inches but specify grid FMT1, IN
	units uses inches as the grid for all units in the specific LINE
	statement.
	FROM, TO specifies the coordinate at the coordinate start (Cs)
	point and the coordinate end (Ce) point.
	SOLID, BROKEN, or DOTTED specifies the type of line you want
	to draw.
	HAIRLINE, 0 point (invisible), 1 point, or 2 points specifies the
	thickness of the line you want to draw.
	INK n specifies the ink color index from the ink list for a Xerox
	highlight or full color LPS printer.
	REPEAT specifies that you want a selected line repeated
	according to the following commands.
	HORIZONTALLY or VERTICALLY specifies the orientation of the
	lines you want repeated.
	EVERY Ci indicates that you want a line repeated at the
	increment (Ci) you have specified.
	AT Ca indicates that you want the line repeated at the absolute
	coordinate (Ca) you have specified.
Defaults	HORIZONTAL, if you do not specify a line orientation.
	SOLID, if you do not specify a line type.
	1, if you do not specify a line weight.
	VERTICALLY, if you do not specify the REPEAT orientation.
Examples	Long form:
	AT 3 INCHES DRAW 5 HORIZONTAL LINES IN INCHES FROM 4
	INCHES TO 10 INCHES USING SOLID 1 USING INK 3 AND
	REPEAT HORIZONTALLY EVERY 0.50 INCHES;
	Short form:
	AT 3 5 LINES 4 TO 10 REPEAT EVERY 0.50;

BOX command

Use the BOX command to describe the size and shape of a box on your form. Similar to lines, you can repeat boxes at fixed intervals or at specified locations. The origin of the box is its upper left corner at the midpoint of the thickness of the outline. If you are using the 4850 HighLight Color or 4700 LPS printer,
