SR - Set Relative Character Size
SR [ width , height ] [;]
width ; the width of printed characters expressed as a percentage of the x-component of the distance between
P1 and P2.
height ; the height of printed characters expressed as a percentage of the y-component of the distance
between P1 and P2.
• This command allows you to specify the size of the character that you print with the LB instruction, relative
to the scaling points P1 and P2.
• width sets the character width to a percentage of |P2x-P1x| and is a clamped real number. Negative values
of width produce right-to-left mirror image characters
• height sets the character height to a percentage of |P2y-P2y| and is a clamped real number. Negative values
of height produce upside-down mirror image character.
• If you change the positions of P1 and P2, the character size will change unless the scaling points remain in
the same relative positions.
• If you move P2 to the left of, or below P1, characters will appear in mirror image.
• If you change the character size, the line width used to draw stick font characters may also change.
• If you omit the parameters, the character size is as specified by the most recent SD or AD command.
