1. Use quad ruled paper to design your character.
2. Number 8 consecutive rows like this:
1
2
4
8
16
32
64
128
3. Now design your character in dot form (see the
example below).
4. Add together all the numbers from the column on
the left, counting only where you have placed a
dot in a row. In our example, the first column has
three dots located in rows 4, 8, and 16. Added
together they equal 28.
5. Put your final total for each column into a data
statement in column order.
The data statement in your program will read:
DATA 28, 34, 65, 65, 54, 34
The next step is to tell the printer your newly designed
character. To do this you must send a CHR$(19)
followed by the six numbers you computed above.
Following is an example of how this can be done.
