4–31Commands
NOTE: If the SCALE;DOT command is used to specify the dot resolution,
the line thickness will be specified in that dot scale, rather than as
the standard 1/72” line.
EC Defines the ending column of the box. Enter a value
ranging from column 2 through the last column of the
form. The ending column must be greater than the
starting column. Character column or dot column is
specified based on the Scale command (page 4–88), or
use the CP.DP format (page 4–7).
STOP Stop indicates the end of the Box command; enter
STOP, and the IGP/PGL will wait for a new command.
If not entered, the IGP/PGL will wait for another set of
Box command parameters.
Example The following program and example in Figure 4–4 defines two boxes. To
illustrate positioning, the starting row and column are indicated on the
example but do not necessarily reflect actual location on the page. (Note the
position of the ending row and ending column; they do not include the line
thickness.)
