FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE
c
s
The coordinate of the start of the line, measured on the x or
y axis, depending on the direction of the line.
c
e
The coordinate of the end of the line, measured on the x or
y axis, depending on the direction of the line.
type
SOLID
An unbroken, straight line.
BROKEN The line is divided into many equal sections,
separated by small amounts of space.
DOTTED The line consists of dots of equal size and spaced
equally apart.

repeat direction
HORIZONTALLY or VERTICALLY.
c
a
Absolute x or y coordinate at which to start repetitive lines in
a horizontal or vertical direction. Multiple c
a
parameters can
be specified. Whether c
a
is measured on the y or x axis
depends on the horizontal or vertical direction of the line.
c
i
An incremental number representing the grid units or linear
units between repeated lines.
Default
The system defaults for direction and type of line are horizontal
and solid. The default option of REPEAT is used to repeat a
horizontal line vertically and a vertical line horizontally to produce
parallel lines. The default number of lines to be drawn is 1.
Example
AT 3 DRAW LINE FROM 4 TO 10;
Reference
Refer to the “Command examples” appendix for examples and
illustrations about drawing lines.
BOX
Describes the size and shape of a square or rectangular box. The
BOX command is similar to the LINE command. Like lines, boxes
may be repeated either at fixed intervals or at specified locations.
The origin of a box is its upper left corner at the midpoint of the
outline thickness. The BOX command provides an option that
allows you to draw the outline of a box (frame) and to fill in a
box with shading.
