Overview of PRESCRIBE Commands by Function
5
Fonts are more fully explained in Chapter 4 of the Technical Reference manual.
Cursor Movement Commands
These commands move the cursor to specific positions. Cursor movements can be
established for absolute positions based on the margins, zero point positions based on the
printable area, or relative positions based on the current cursor position.
Cursor movement commands only change the position of the cursor. Also, the cursor
may not be moved outside of the printable area (see MZP command). It is possible to
store the cursor position in memory then to return to that position stored in memory.
Vector Graphics Commands
The commands below are used to create figures such as lines, circles, and rectangles, and
to add shading, simply by adding parameters.
It is possible to specify colors for all vector graphics. For details, see a color specific
command such as SCOL.
