DI - Absolute direction
DI [ run, rise ] [;]
run : X direction component
rise : Y direction component
• Specifies the character plot direction.
• Values for the run and rise are clamped real numbers.
• The instruction is ignored when the values for both run and rise are 0.
• When the parameter field is omitted, the default value (horizontal direction) is used.
