Chapter 2 Command Codes

Comments Only use the IPEXP command in conjunction with graphics

plotting and symbols which were created using the ILOGO

command (page 101), the Plotting Graphics Q command (page

105), and the Symbols command (page 118). The IPEXP

command expands these pre-designed graphics and symbols in

a manner similar to the way normal characters are expanded

using the Character Height and Character Width commands.

NOTE: Unless this command is turned off, once an expansion factor is

selected, that value remains selected until a new IPEXP command is

received. Turn this command off by entering 1,1 for the horizontal and

vertical expansion values.

Example The following program and print sample illustrate how the TUV

Rheinland symbol (value 61 from Table 14) is applied using the

ILOGO command and expanded 4X by 4X using the IPEXP

command. Note that the alphanumeric command ^M is simply

“introducing” an Extended Graphics command; therefore, the

alphanumeric command parameters (such as 01,01,000) are

optional.
