Within the Field
In a bitmap, constant text, line, or box
field, the row and column parameters
control where an individual field or
bitmapped row begins in relation to the
coordinates defined in the graphic header.
The bottom of the triangle in this example
represents the first field of the graphic
packet starting at 10,0.
Within a Format
When you define the graphic field within
your format, the row and column
parameters represent where on the
format to place the graphic image.
If you are placing a graphic (a logo, for
example) within a certain area on your
supply, enter the starting position
bottom left corner) of the graphic
image.
This label shows the triangle "logo"
beginning (the bottom left corner) at
155, 33 as defined in the graphic field.
Defining the Graphic Header
Every graphic packet must contain a graphic header. This is the
first thing you enter. It identifies and provides important
measurement and formatting information for the graphic. Bitmap,
duplicate, next-bitmap, constant text, line, and box fields follow
the graphic header, if they are used.
