Figure 8-6. Data numbers for one column
To calculate the data numbers for this column, you see which dots
are used in the top group (the top eight positions) and add their values
together. Then you go down to the middle group (the next 8 posi-
tions) and add the values of any dots that are used there. Finally, you
look at the bottom group (2 dot positions) and add together the
values used there.
If no dots are used in a group, the data number for that group is
zero. All zeros must be entered in the DATA statements for the
NLQ definition programs.
Now we’ll show you how to use the NLQ character definition
with a simple arrow design. Figure 8-7 shows the design drawn on a
grid and the data numbers printed at the top or bottom of each
column.
