The following BASIC program prints the design shown in Figures 6-3
and 64. Notice that the
data
numbers in lines 80-140 are the same
numbers that you see in Figure 64. Also note that the WIDTH
statement in line 10 is for IBM@ PC BASIC; the format may be different
for your system.

In this program, line 20 assigns the graphics option (24-pin
triple-density) with
code
39. Code 42 sets the number of pin columns at
42. Lines 80-140 contain 126
bytes
of data (42 pin columns x 3 bytes for
each pin column). Lines 30-60 print the design shown below.
A
Notice that the dots overlap quite a bit. This design was printed using
the triple-density, 24-pin graphics option because the density is the same
(180
dots
to the inch) in both directions.
