A word of explanation about line
06: The IBM personal Computer is set for a maximum line
length of 80 characters, so it adds a Carriage Return and Line Feed after the 80th character.
Because the data for each column is treated as a character, your computer will send CR and
LF codes after the data for the 80th column, and the printer will interpret these codes as
graphics information and print them. A WIDTH statement changes the maximum length of
a
line, and placing the number 255 in
a
WIDTH statement eliminates any length restriction.
(See your IBM BASIC Manual for details.)
The printout looks like this:
You can vary the length of the graphics line by changing the value
of NDOTS.
Try changing the density in this program and see what happens.
Save this program; you will need it later.
Combining Text and Graphics
You can mix normal text printing and graphics on the same line.
Here is an example using the image coded in the last section:
05 'SAMPLE 3
10 LPRINT "TEXT PRINTING";CHR$(27);CHR$(75);CHR$(11);CHR$(0);
CH R$(1);CH R$(2);CH R$(4);CH R$(9);CH R$(18);CH R$(36);CH R$(72);
CH R$(144);CH R$(32);CH R$(64);CH R$(128);
