Let's see how these three pitches look. Try this program:
10 'Demo all pitches.
20 LPRINT CHR$(27) llBtr CHR$(J) ; 'Select condensed
pitch.
30 LPRINT "This line is CONDENSED pitch."
40 LPRINT CHR$(27) trBrr CHR$(2) ; 'Select elite pitch.
50 LPRINT "This line is ELITE pitch."
60 LPRINT CHR$(27) lrBlr CHR$(l) ; 'Select pica pitch.
70 LPRINT "This line is PICA pitch (normal)."
When you run this program you should get this:
This
line is CONDENSED
pitch.
This
line
is ELITE
pitch.
This
lirre
is
PICA
pitch
(rtw-mal).
Line 20 turns on condensed pitch with (ESC) "B" CHR$(3).
Line 30 prints a line at 17 characters per inch. The (ESC) "B"
CHR$(2) in line 40 changes Radix to elite pitch and line 50 prints a
line in elite pitch. Line 60 resets Radix to pica pitch and line 70
prints a line in pica pitch.
Pica pitch and condensed pitch can be set with "shortcut"
codes. Instead of using (ESC) "B" CHR$(n), you can set them
with a single code. CHR$(18) sets pica pitch and CHR$(15) sets
condensed pitch. You can not set elite pitch with a single code.
