The Relative Character Size Instruction, Sr - HP 7470A Interfacing And Programming Manual

"SI1,1.Ev;LB'.'-¥?OF{E" ; 4 ; A
Negative SI parameters will produce mirror images of labels. A nega­
tive SI width parameter will mirror labels in the right-to-left direction.
COMMAND RESULTING LABEL
"SI-.35,.6;LBHPR" C1}{
A negative height parameter will mirror labels in the top-to-bottom
direction. .
COMMAND RESULTING LABEL
"SI.3S,—.6;LBHP&" F+tj
Two negative SI parameters will mirror the label in both directions and
the label will appear to be rotated 180 degrees.
COMMAND RESULTING LABEL
"sI—.35,—.s;LBHP5" CJP4
For further information on the effects of negative parameters, refer to
the section Parameter Interaction in Labeling Commands later in this
chapter.
In order to produce legible characters, parameters should be greater
than 0.1. Parameter values above 18 allow a maximum of one character
to be drawn on the paper.
The Relative Character Size
Instruction, SR
DESCRIP-"UN The relative character size instruction, SR, specifies the
size of characters and symbols as a percentage of the distance between
scaling points P1 and P2.
USE3 The instruction can be used to define character size relative to
the distance between P1 and P2 so that if the P1,P2 distance changes,
character size will adjust to occupy the same "relative" amount of
space.
