Logo Exercise

In this exercise, you will generate a logo. The following sample uses a hand

logo. Using dot scaling (discussed in detail on page 4–88) on an 8–1/2 x

11–inch form, a hand was drawn on a grid, with each dot tabulated by row

and column position. If a grid coordinate occupies half or more of a dot

position, include that position in your logo program. (Grid samples are

located in Appendix B.)

Each dot position used must be identified individually. However, you can use

a hyphen between the starting and ending columns to indicate a section of

consecutive dots. For example, this hand logo requires dots in row 1,

columns 40–42, shown in Figure 6–10. A sequential row order is not

required.

A logo is created and stored as an element in the definition of a form. For

example, to use a logo, first design it in the Create Logo mode; then add it to

a form in the Create Form mode; then execute the form (with the logo) in the

Execute Form mode. The following logo exercise includes all three of these

steps.
