Colour array that can be expressed using one, three or four values ranging from 0 to 255. For Grayscale, a single value

between 0 and 100 is used in the form [K], representing percentage of gray (100 is black, 0 is white). For the RGB model,

three values are used in the form [R, G, B]. For the CMYK model, four values are used in the form [C, M, Y, K].

fontratio

Integer value representing the percentage by which to shrink or stretch the font spacing. This value adjusts both the width of

each glyph and the spacing between glyphs. This is in contrast to kerning, which modifies the spacing between characters with-

out modifying the width of characters.

Example

setstyleext(&Style2.bi, 25, [100], 100)

Show / ShowCenter / ShowRight (procedure)

These three commands are used to display simple text on the document. They are identical in all aspects, except in the way

they behave relative to the current margin settings: show uses the margin as a starting point to extend the string to the right;

showright uses the margin as the ending point of the string; and showcenter extends the string equally on both sides of

the margin. These commands are equivalent to print, echo or write commands in other scripting languages.

Syntax

show( text )

showcenter( text )

showright( text )

Argument

text

String value to be displayed.

Code Sample Example

This example illustrates the difference between all three variations of using the SHOW command.

Example

margin(3,1)

showright('This line is to the left of the margin')

crlf()

showcenter('This line is centered on the margin')

crlf()

show('This line is to the right of the margin')

ShowBarCode (procedure)

Note: This PressTalk command is deprecated. Use instead the barcode-specific commands.

Displays a specified string as a barcode.
