SIZE. The ASCII characters 1 through 8 specify the character size for graphics text. A (tl"
indicates the smallest character, a 5 by 7 dot matrix in a 7 by 10 cell. Increasing the size
increases the size of the dots. If a text size of 1 is specified, each dot in the cell is one dot on the
screen. A size of2 causes 4 screen dots for each character dot (2 X 2), and so on (see figure D-ll).
A size of

is the default.
