Aspect ratio parameter specifies ratio of height of character
For example, an aspect ratio of 2 specifies
to its width.
c h a r a c t e r s t h a t a r e t w i c e a s h i g h a s t h e y a r e w i d e . An aspect
ratio of 1 specifies square characters.
Paper ratio parameter specifies ratio of height of scaling
area to its width. Scaling area is defined by scaling points
P1 and P2.
F o r example, 10 in. high X 15 in. wide scaling
area has paper ratio of 10:15 or 2:3.
Angle of rotation parameter specifies direction in which char-
a c t e r s a r e p r i n t e d . Direction is expressed as angle (measured
left) between line of print and X-axis, as shown below.
Parameter is expressed in current angular units (degrees,
radians, or grads).
Default values for four parameters are as follows:
Height
1.5%
2
A s p e c t Ratio
P a p e r Ratio
1
Angle of Rotation
0
Executing csiz statement without parameters sets default
These values are also set when plotter is initialized

to specify character dimensions and shape and rotate lettering
direction through entire circle in 10-degree intervals. Plot
statement (line 2) centers pen for each printing sequence.
