Commands

NOTE: If the SCALE;DOT command is used to specify the dot resolution,

the line thickness will be specified in that dot scale, rather than as

the standard 1/72” line.

EC

Defines the ending column of the box. Enter a value

ranging from column 2 through the last column of the

form. The ending column must be greater than the

starting column. Character column or dot column is

specified based on the Scale command (page 4–88), or

use the CP.DP format (page 4–7).

STOP

Stop indicates the end of the Box command; enter

STOP, and the IGP/PGL will wait for a new command.

If not entered, the IGP/PGL will wait for another set of

Box command parameters.

Example

The following program and example in Figure 4–4 defines two boxes. To

illustrate positioning, the starting row and column are indicated on the

example but do not necessarily reflect actual location on the page. (Note the

position of the ending row and ending column; they do not include the line

thickness.)

BOX

3;24;16;51;63
