2 = RGB
Px , Py , Pz : color coordinates
Parameter Characters 0 - 9 Numeric parameters - used on the
(3/0 - 3/9) above control codes

assigning each of the remaining low-
order six bits to a grid position :
LSB = top pixel
MSB = bottom pixel
Examples :
? (3/15) : blank character
@ (4/0) : print only top pixel
A (4/1) : print second-from-top pixel
~ (7/14) : print one full column
