Making Radix Print Darker
Radix has very good print density when it's just printing regu-
larly. But sometimes you may want something to stand out from
the rest of the page. Radix provides two ways to do this: double-
strike and emphasized print. Both of these go over the characters
twice, but they use slightly different methods to darken the char-
acters. Let's try them and see what the difference is.
The following table shows the control codes for getting into
and out of double-strike and emphasized modes.

Try them now with this little program:
10 'Demo double-strike and emphasized.
20 LPRINT CHR$(27) I'G" ; 'Double strike on.
30 LPRINT "This line is DOUBLE-STRIKE printing."
40
LPRINT CHR$(27) "E" ; 'Emphasized on.
50 LPRINT "This line is DOUBLE-STRIKE and EMPHASIZED."
60
LPRINT CHR$(27) "Htv ; 'Double strike off.
70 LPRINT "This line is EMPHASIZED printing."
80 LPRINT CHR$(27)'vF" ; 'Emphasized off.
90 LPRINT "This line is normal printing."
