Example 9 — Special effects with modes (Trailing modes)
Modes, like ROTATE and ROLL, are used to create special effects
with messages. Typically modes are used once at the beginning of a
message. However, a mode can also be placed at the end of a message
(called a “trailing mode”) to create a special effect.
NOTE: The following can not be used as a trailing mode:
CONDENSED ROTATE, SCROLL, SLIDE, SNOW, and
SPRAY.
