csiz - Cont
In diagram, you can see relative position of character, in
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 er
space height is twice the character’s height and character
space width is 1-1/2 times the character’s width. Spaces
above and below character become spacing between lines and
c h a r a c t e r s.
When you specify height of character in csiz s t a t e m e n t , y ou
should specify character height and not height of character
s p a c e f i e l d.
c p lt
CHARACTER PLOT. Moves pen a specified number of character space
f i e l d s .
Syntax:
cplt Number of character space widths, number of character
space heights
If no parameters are specified, cplt s t a t e m e n t p e r f o r m s c a r-
riage 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 lt
s t a t e m e n t , o r t h e p l o t t e r f r o n t p a n e l c o n t r o l s .
If c s i z
statement is executed after pen is positioned by plot, i p l t,
o r f r o n t p a n e l c o n t r o l s,
location of pen when csiz s t a t e m e nt
is executed becomes that margin pen returns to when cplt i s
executed without parameters.
When parameters are specified, cplt statement moves 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.
