Statement
In diagram, you can see relative position of character, in
c s i z - Cont
this case M, within character space field. Character space
field is set indirectly by c s i z s t a t e m e n t , s i n c e c h a r a c t e r
space height is twice the character's height and character
space width is 1-1/2 times the character's width. Spaces
a b o v e and below character become spacing between lines and
characters.
When you specify height of character in csiz s t a t e m e n t , y o u
should specify character height and not height of character
space field.
CHARACTER PLOT. Moves pen a specified number of character space
cplt
fields.
Syntax:
c p l t Number of character space widths, number of character
s p a c e heights

r i a g e return and line feed operation by moving one character
space height down and returning to margin defined by last
point that pen was sent to by either plot statement, i p l t
statement, or the plotter front panel controls. If c s i z
statement is executed after pen is positioned by plot, i p l t ,
or front panel controls, location of pen when csiz s t a t e m e n t

W h e n p a r a m e t e r s a r e s p e c i f i e d , cplt statement moces pen speci-
fied number of character space widths to right (positive
value) or to left (negative value) and number of character
space heights up (positive value) or down (negative value).
Pen position (raised or lowered) does not change when c p l t
statement is executed. Parameters must be within range of
127.9994999.
