PRBOX, cont.
Chapter —Program Instructions
The illustration below shows how the height and width of the box are defined
for different print directions.
Creating a multiline text field
The PRBOX statement can also be used to create an area in which a
field of wrapped and hyphenated text can be printed. As opposed to the
PRTXT statement, there is no need to specify each line of text separately.
The text field can be framed by the box (line weight > 0), or the box can
be invisible (line weight = 0). The maximum number of characters on each
line is 300 and the maximum number of lines is 20.
The position of the text frame inside the box is affected by the direction
(see DIR statement), the alignment (see ALIGN statement), and by two
parameters in the PRBOX statement ( and .
4 5
The direction rotates the box with its text field around the anchor point
as specified by the alignment. The alignment specifies the anchor point of
the box itself as left-, right-, or center-aligned (see ALIGN), and at the the
same time also decides how the field will be aligned inside the box (9 possible
positions) and if the text lines will be left, right, or center justified.
In the following description, horizontal and vertical should be understood
in relation to how the text is printed. (That means that in directions 2&4,
horizontal and vertical have opposite meanings than in directions 1&3).
The horizontal distance between the inner edge of the box line and the
borders of the text field is specified by :
- In case of ALIGN 1, 4, or 7, it decides the distance between the inner
edge of the left side box line and the left-hand edge of the text field.
- In case of ALIGN 3, 6, or 9, it decides the distance between the inner
edge of the right side box line and the right-hand edge of the text field.
- In case of ALIGN 2, 5, or 8, this parameter has no consequence.
