HORZ The Horizontal Line command; enter HORZ.

Defines the line thickness, measured in 1/72-inch

dots. Enter a value of 1 or greater. Horizontal line

thickness expands downward from the given row.

Defines the row to draw the horizontal line. Enter a

value ranging from row 1 through one less than the

length of the form. Character row or dot row is

specified based on the Scale command (page 82),

or use the CP.DP format (page 26).

Defines the starting column of the horizontal line.

Enter a value ranging from column 1 through one

less than the width of the form. Character column

or dot column is specified based on the Scale

command (page 82), or use the CP.DP format

(page 26).

Defines the ending column of the horizontal line.

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 82), or use the CP.DP

format (page 26).

STOP Stop indicates the end of the HORZ command;

enter STOP. If not entered, the IGP/PGL expects

another set of Horizontal Line command

parameters.

Example The following example specifies 2 horizontal lines. The first line

uses the character row in the

parameter, and the second line

uses CP.DP format. To illustrate positioning, the starting row and

column are indicated on the example but do not necessarily

reflect actual location on the page.
