Graphics; Example 11 - Creating A Movie Marquee - Adaptive Beta-Brite 1024 Programming Manual

Remote Control Programming Manual
In addition to pre-programmed or "canned" graphics (see "Sign
graphics" on page 43), you can create your own custom graphics using
DOTS files.
You can display a DOTS graphic that you create either by itself or
with text.
NOTE: After you create a DOTS graphic, to display it on your sign, the
DOTS graphic must be placed in a text file—even if you just
want to display the graphic all by itself.
