Column Reservation Numbers

The graphics command requires more than one number to specify
how many columns to reserve because one line can use thousands of
columns, but the printer does not use numbers larger than 255 in
decimal. Therefore the graphics mode command uses two numbers,
n1 and n2, for reserving columns.
To find n1 and n2, divide the total number of columns by 256. The
result is n2; the remainder is n1. Since the command is set up for two
numbers, you must supply two even if you need only one. When
you need fewer than 256 columns, just make n1 the number of
columns you are reserving and make n2 a zero.
