Draw Line Codes
You can draw lines within a viewport (either
Text
or
Tool
type). You do this
by inserting the draw line code in the string text, which takes this form:
D x,y (space) dx,dy
where:
x
= x-coordinate (column number) of starting point of line to be drawn
y
= y-coordinate (row number) of starting point
(space) =
space required between fields
dx
= horizontal component of distance (left-to-right) from start point to
end point of line drawn
dy
= vertical component of distance (top-to-bottom) from start point to
end point
The
x
and
y
values are relative to the top left corner of the viewport, the top
left corner having (x,y) coordinate values of (0,0), respectively.
Note: For
Tool
viewports, the viewport boundaries are that of the screen, so
that the top left corner of the
Tool
viewport would be the screen corner.
For example, the draw line code:
D 10, 20 30, 40
x y dx dy
would draw a diagonal line whose starting point (x,y) coordinates would be
(10, 20) relative to the top left corner of the viewport (the coordinates in the
diagram are listed for illustrative purposes only, and are not part of the
display):
