Example:
Suppose you want to print 400 columns of graphics:
­
n2= 1
­
256 ) 400
-
256
-
n1 = 144
-
If you want to print in single density graphics mode, the beginning
of your statement should look like this:

-
-
IBM BASIC includes two functions that make calculating n1 and n2
­
very easy:
• MOD divides two numbers and returns the integer remainder,
-
• FIX removes the fractional portion of a numeric expression without
rounding it off.
See your BASIC Manual for details.
Using these functions, you can express our sample numbers this
­
way:
O'!NDOTS=400
-
l T
$~~~~;C~~(7~Jfi::H~~DO~~ ~:JP
··CHR$(FIX(NlQOTS/256»
­
IMPORTANT NOTE: The number of dot columns expressed by n1 and n2 cannot be greater
­
than the maximum number of dot columns per line allowed for the graphics mode you are
using (see table below).
