Example 12 — Mixing text with graphics

In this example, we’ll create a graphic and combine it with text:

Step

When you do this...

You see this...

1

Delete all the messages currently stored in the sign.
(See “Clearing a sign’s memory” on page 5 or “Example 5 — Deleting messages” on page 16.)

2

Press PROGRAM.

3

Press BACK.

4

Press ADV.

5

Press X to move a vertical
line across the sign. This
reduces the size of the
drawing area.

Keep pressing X until there
are 5 dots between the
vertical line and the end of
the sign.

NOTE:If you don’t reduce

the graphic area, the
graphic would take
up the entire area of
the sign.

These triangle graphics (two copies of a single DOTS file) will be combined with the text Graphics!

PROG TEXT A

The name of your DOTS graphics file will be A.

PROG DOTS A

The blinking DOTS cursor keeps
track of where you’re drawing.

X moves this line right
(reduces drawing area)

W moves this line left
(increases drawing area)

The line should end up 5 dots from the end. So our
drawing area will be 5 dots wide by 7 dots high.
