5-10 Packet Reference Manual
Creating Next-Bitmap Fields
This field uses the previous field’s row and column locations. It allows you to use the bitmap or
duplicate field data without having to recalculate row and column locations. This field represents
one row of dots on the image.
Syntax N,adjdir,adjamt,algorithm,"data" |
N1. N Next-Bitmap Field.
N2. adjdir Increments or decrements the row count. Inserts the duplicate line
after or before the current row. 0 is the default.
0 Increments (inserts after)
1 Decrements (inserts before)
For example:
B,50,35,R,"GsSsG" |
N,0,1,R,"DpZoD" |
prints a next-bitmap field on row 51 at column 35.
N3. adjamt Amount of row adjustment in dot rows. Using 0 overwrites the same
line. Range: 0 to 999.
N4. algorithm Coding method for bitmap data:
H Hex Representation
R Run Length Encoding
N5. “data” Character string made up of hex or run length encoding. Do not put
spaces or any other character between the hex numbers or run length
code letters. Range: 0 to 2710. 2710 is the default.
Example B,39,56,H,"3FFFFFF0" |
N,0,1,H,"000000E00000" |
Defines a next-bitmap graphic field beginning on row 40. The row count increments by 1. Hex
representation is used.
Creating Duplicate Fields
If a line of data is identical to a previous bitmap or next-bitmap field, the duplicate field allows
you to repeat the dot sequence without retyping the data. A duplicate field represents one row of
dots on the image.
Note: Duplicate fields are useful when you have a graphic with a lot of repetition.
Syntax D,adjdir,adjamt,count |
D1. D Duplicate Field.
D2. adjdir Increments or decrements the row count. Inserts the duplicate line
after or before the current row.
0 Increments (inserts after)
1 Decrements (inserts before)
For example:
B,50,35,R,"GsSsG" |
D,0,20,2 |
inserts row 50 again at row 70 and row 90. Rows 70 and 90 do not
have to be defined later.
D3. adjamt Amount of row adjustment in dot rows. Range: 0 to 999. 1 is the
default. The above example adjusts the duplicate field to image on
row 70 and 90 (adding 20 to the current row count).
D4. count Number of times to duplicate the line. Range: 0 to 999.
