Oversized Character Dimensions - 270
o
The width of a character cell is 0.6 decipoints times the horizontal
expansion factor. Width means the dimension that is left-to-right as you read the character.
The height of a character cell is 1.08 decipoints times the vertical
expansion factor. Height means the dimension that is vertical as you read the character.
Figure 4-4 Sideways Character Dimensions
The distance from the top of the character cell to the baseline is 0.76
decipoints times the vertical expansion factor. Top-of-cell means the upper boundary of the
character cell as you read the character.
When printing strings of sideways characters, the printer adds horizontal space between
character cells. This space is equal to 0.36 decipoints times the vertical expansion factor.
Vertical Position-Relative in Oversized
Normally, the origin of a vertical position-relative move is the current position. If the last object
printed on the current line was an oversized character, however, then the origin of a vertical
position-relative move is the top of that character cell, where top-of-cell means the character cell
boundary that is uppermost on the paper. This is true whether or not you are still in oversized
when the vertical position-relative command is sent.
