mode, the 40-column screen has only half the horizontal resolution
of standard bit map mode, that is, 160 by 200. This reduction in reso
lution is compensated for by the additional capability of using one
additional color for a total of three colors, within an 8 by 8 character
matrix. Standard bit map mode can only display two colors within an
8 by 8 character matrix.
The SCALE command allows you to size your graphic images on a
scale of 0-32767 in both the X and Y directions, instead of only the
320 by 200 default scale.
To SCALE your screen, type:
SCALE 1, x, y
and the screen coordinates range from 0 to 32767 whether you are
in standard or multicolor high-res mode. The default for SCALing is
1023 by 1023 if X and Y are not specified in the SCALE command.
To turn off SCALEing, type:
SCALE 0
and the coordinates return to their normal values.
