a
parameters can be specified.
c
i
An incremental number representing the grid units or linear
units between repeated lines.
Default The default for LINES is SOLID 1; the default for REPEAT is
HORIZONTALLY.
Considerations Specifying a line thickness of 0 is useful for positioning text in an
invisible box. When using this technique, however, remember
that 0 lines, although they are not printed, appear as lines
internally.
A single BOX command can specify either an outlined box or a
shaded box, but not both; that combination requires a second
BOX command.
Example AT 4, 6 BOX 14 WIDE BY 4 HIGH;
Reference Refer to the “Command examples” appendix for examples and
