Assigningthe characterdata
Now,we calculatetheverticalnumericalvaluesof thecolumnsof dots,and
enterthemunderneaththe grid.For example,lookingat Figure5-3, we see
thatintheleft-mostcolumntherearefivedots,andtheyaresittinginthe"64"
box,"32''box, " 16"twx,"8"box,and"4"box.Thusitsverticalvalueis 124.
In the next column,there is no dot straddlingthe verticalline; its value is
nxorded as O.
You will see the lettersml, nd, m3,etc., are aboveyourvalues.Whenyou
definethe character,you will substituteyourvaluefor eachof theseletters.
