List Command
mark_char_abs
Function marks an indexed character. In the called command list (see below), any absolute vector
and arc commands will receive an offset (based on the current coordinates at the time of
the call).
Call
mark_char_abs( Char )
Parameter Char Index of the indexed character to be marked (as an unsigned 32-bit value,
allowed range: [0 … 1023]). The following applies:
Char = character set number * 256 + ASCII number of the character
(character sets are numbered 0 to 3).
Comments • The mark_char_abs command reads the indexed character’s starting address from the
internal management table based on the supplied index and then calls the command
list_call_abs (also see the comments there), which then starts the corresponding
command list.
• If the command list of the called character contains no absolute commands, then there
is no difference between mark_char_abs and mark_char.
