Lines and Boxes
Lines and boxes are drawn by values that determine column and row starting
position, length, width, and wall thickness of the line or box (see Appendix K).
Depending on the printer's mode, all measurements are interpreted as inches/100
or millimeters/10 (see <STX>m). The data field jj...j is used to describe the line or
box dimensions.
