Example 9 — Special effects with modes (Trailing modes)
Modes, like ROTATE and ROLL, are used to create special effects with
messages. Typically modes are used once at the beginning of a message.
However, a mode can also be placed at the end of a message (called a
“trailing mode”) to create a special effect.
NOTE: The following can not be used as a trailing mode: CONDENSED
ROTATE
, SCROLL, SLIDE, SNOW, and SPRAY.
