bracket ($5B). The escape character is shown here as "<ESC>". Most of the
commands accept one or more numerical values. If the value is not present, it will be
assumed to be equal to one. If more than one value is needed they are separated by
a semi-colon (;). To aid in programmatic generation of parameters for the graphics
commands, a "number" can have a leading space. E.g., "<sp>123;<sp>456" is
interpreted as 123;456. However, numbers may not have trailing spaces, decimal
points, minus signs, exponents, or anything other than the digits themselves.
With the exception of the brightness control escape sequence, all the commands
described below are used to affect the display screen. All data that ISN'T part of an
escape sequence is considered to be alphanumeric data that will be, if possible, placed
on the screen at the present cursor location. Note that not all ASCII characters have
standard or even extant alphanumeric representations. Some fonts contain special
symbols that are used as part of the map drawing routines or for other functions.
While it may be tempting to use some of these symbols, we recommend AGAINST
doing so because they are not guaranteed to remain constant with software revisions.
More on this subject in the Font descriptions.
The following escape sequences are "standard" VT-100 ANSI codes.
<ESO[NA Move the cursor up "N" lines. All lines are assumed to be 32
pixels high. Commands that would raise the cursor higher than
the top line leave it on the top line.
<ESC>[NB Move the cursor down "N" lines. All lines are assumed to be
32 pixels high. Commands that would place the cursor below
the lower clip limit leave it on the last valid line above the clip
limit.
<ESC>[NC Move the cursor right by "N" characters. The width of a
character varies with the size of the currently selected font.
Commands that would place the cursor beyond the right edge
of the screen leave it on the right edge of the screen.
